Bernard McGuirk Obituary

Bernard J. McGuirk was a radio personality in the United States who was a co-host at WABC in New York City with Sid Rosenberg. He was born and raised in New York’s South Bronx.

Bernard McGuirk passed away from brain cancer, triggered by prostate cancer on October 5, 2022, at the age of 64.

McGuirk joined WABC with Don Imus, the late radio icon, in 2007, and his “personality from day one dramatically improved the camaraderie and morale of the entire radio station,” according to a statement from the station.

A heartfelt written statement issued by WABC president Chad Lopez called McGuirk the “backbone of this entire radio station.” “He will be missed by all that knew him and listened to him, a true gentleman, he is the fabric of the morning show.”

McGuirk was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2021. McGuirk continued to work despite undergoing chemotherapy and suffering from appendicitis and pneumonia, according to WABC personality Curtis Sliwa.
