From the KOZI web page:
KOZI personality and longtime radio announcer “Sugar” Bruce Cannon passed away Monday evening after suffering a heart attack near his home in Manson. Bruce was a longtime fixture on KTAC in Tacoma in the 1970’s and 80’s where he was Program Director and rode home with listeners each afternoon.. Bruce will probably be remembered by most listeners as the heart and soul of 850 KTAC. “Sugar Bruce” began working at KOZI in 2008 pulling both full time and part time shifts and became a favorite of area listeners, and the KOZI staff as well. His favorite place to relax and have fun was with the Sorensons at Blueberry Hills. His original name was Bruce Bebich. We will have a special tribute to “Sugar Bruce” coming up at around 10:00 Wednesday morning.
