Scott had been battling ALS since 2022.
CINCINNATI - Jim Scott spent nearly 50 years on Cincinnati radio.
On Friday, the radio icon passed away at the age of 81 after a battle with ALS.
Scott was diagnosed with the disease in Spring of 2022, and according to his wife, Donna, he "continued to spark joy in everyone he met" despite battling the non-curable disease.
"The grace with which he met and endured the indignities of ALS was astounding and inspiring. So very Jim," Donna continued in a Facebook post.
She continued that there will not be a funeral funeral, instead there will be a celebration of life in the near future.
Prior to his passing, Jim Scott was celebrated in a big way as the Grand Marshal of the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade.
Scott is perhaps best known for the 31 years he spent on air at 700WLW.
