Remembering Jay ‘JayBob’ Barrett

By Sabine Poux | KDLL

Veteran Alaska journalist and KBBI news director Laurence Jay Barrett died Thursday, March 17, at his home in Homer. He was 60.

If you’ve ever turned on a radio in Alaska, there’s a good chance you’ve heard Jay Barrett’s unflinchingly upbeat voice.

That voice has played on local airwaves across Alaska, from Kodiak to Bethel to Kenai and, most recently, Homer.
