“Sad update on this Easter Sunday,” he wrote. “At 7:09 last night, Lee Siegfried…Crazy Cabbie, peacefully passed way with the love of his life Lexi by his side. He is no longer in pain, and he is now with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Nobody did radio better than Cabbie, and everyone that knew him, loved him. He had a razor sharp wit, an insatiable lust for life, and most importantly he had a heart of gold. We had our moments, but we were brothers who loved each other very much. Until next time, my friend.”
Crazy Cabbie worked as a DJ himself for 92.3 K-Rock in New York among other stops.
During his time as a guest on Stern’s show, Cabbie participated in a pair of boxing matches, taking on “Wack Pack” member Angry Black and also former Stern Show member “Stuttering” John Melendez.
Melendez also posted about his death Sunday.
“R.I.P. Lee Mroszak, AKA ‘Cray Cabbie,’” he wrote.
