RIP. you old TOG

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“In addition to his son, Tom, and daughter, Lucy, Steve leaves behind his brother, Laurence, and his father, Richard.

Ken Bruce, who spent three decades presenting the mid-morning time slot on Radio 2, said he was “totally shocked” to hear about Wright’s death.

Sara Cox told listeners during her slot on the radio station that her fellow DJs were “absolutely shattered”.

Wright, who was made an MBE in the 2024 new year honours list for his services to radio, continued to present Sunday Love Songs each weekend.

“He was a consummate professional whose attention to detail was always second to none, and he made his guests laugh, he was fair, and he wanted to showcase them and their work in the best possible light, bringing brilliant stories to our listeners.”

Thomas added: “Steve was the first presenter I ever produced, more than 20 years ago, and I remember the pure amazement I felt, sitting opposite this legendary broadcaster whose shows I had listened to and marvelled at whilst growing up in Hull.”
