Early this morning I received a phone call from my friend Janet Norquist, Ibrahim Gonzalez’s wife. She informed me that Ibrahim had died sometime last night. Cause of death has not yet been ascertained.

He was a wonderful human being and a man of many talents. He not only produced radio and video programs, but was a working musician, a gifted photographer, a teacher, and a writer. And a loving and loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend
I will miss him.Louis S. Bedrock
NEW COMMENT:
I just listened to the WBAI Evening News. About 10 minutes was devoted to news of the coming events at the Left Forum; about 5 minutes to the death of NJ Senator Frank Lautenberg.
No mention was made of Ibrahim. Not one word about his death and not one word about his wonderful life--which included 25 years at WBAI.
Shame on WBAI. Shame on everyone affiliated with the station. Shame! —TPM
More shocking news:
The tragedy that seems to follow WBAI apparently knows no end. As many of us mourn the untimely departure of Ibrahim, comes the news of two of the station's hosts committing suicide. Here is a newspaper article dated June 5. Here is a clip from their WKCR show,
not long before they moved to WBAI.
