I’m totally distraught by the death of Jerry Taft. We were part of the Good Morning Guys team on country music WMAQ 40 years ago. He always had a sunny disposition and was very serious about his meteorology. RIP Jerry.

We lost a great friend, meteorologist, husband, dad, pilot, amazing golfer, & the BEST laugh Chicago TV has ever known. This is one of my fav moments. We still don’t know why he was laughing..it was a common occurrence w @jerrytaft 😂 @ABC7Chicago @MarkGiangreco7 @RonMagersABC7 pic.twitter.com/CwyFXzvTfT

My family was close with Jerry and he will be severely missed. Thank you for serving our city for decades. You’re a class act. RIP❤️ pic.twitter.com/vWMo4OtbmQ
