I enjoy listening to the Don and Mike Show on the radio for my afternoon drive home (3-7 pm est) [listen to them online here]. This is what I read on DCRTV today:
“Freda Sorce, the wife of WJFK-FM afternoon man Don Geronimo, was killed in an auto accident on Route 90 near Ocean City MD on Sunday. Apparently, neither her husband, whose real name is Mike Sorce, nor their son, Bart, were with her when the tragedy occurred, our sources say. She was traveling westbound on 90, when a vehicle avoiding an eastbound accident swerved into the westbound lane hitting her Lexus head-on. Mrs. Sorce was taken to University Of Maryland’s Shock Traunt Unit in Baltimore where she died. She was 50. Before marrying Geronimo, the then Freda Wright had worked at a number of radio stations in the DC area. More soon…..”
I am in complete shock. Love her or hate her, Freda was part of the show. I enjoyed it when she would call in and speak with the gang. I also thought it was sweet that they would show obvious love and affection towards each other.
Frankly, I am really concerned for Don and how he will deal with this tragedy. My heartfelt prayers go out to the Sorce family and everyone involved with the show.
More coverage here.

I also lost someone I loved very much about 5 months ago. At first it was difficult just to even breathe. Freda will always be the love of your life. I know you are thankful for the time you had with her. You will see her live on in the eyes of your son. You appear to be a very strong man and probably surprised how much strength you continue to receive from your lovely Freda even in her physical absense.. She will always be with you.
My deepest sympathy
Linda
Linda, I appreciate your heartfelt sentiment, but I am not Don Gerinomo, only someone who too sympathizes for him. I cannot imagine the pain he is going through, but if he happens upon this post, perhaps he will be uplifted by your heartfelt sympathy.
I wish you a peace as well.
