The Bremen Public School Board members were presented with a proclamation to approve that would honor and commemorate the memory and legacy of MAX 98.3 FM’s Tony “The Boss” Ross.

“Whereas, Tony Ross was a beloved voice in the Plymouth, Knox, and Bremen communities, whose dedication to local radio and sports enriched the lives of countless individuals; and
“Whereas, Tony began his illustrious career at WKVI Radio, later joining WTCA in Plymouth for nearly 20 years, and ultimately helping to launch MAX 98.3 FM in 2015, becoming a pillar in the broadcasting community; and
