This is very sad news indeed.  I studied in London in the early 80's and his voice was always on Radio 1 in the afternoon.  
As I was studying business English at the time (I'm Norwegian), I used the radio a lot and his voice was very relaxing.  I also remember him from Radio Luxemburg, now that must have been a few years before he joined BBC, I think in the late 70's. 

 

Then I rediscovered him many years later through the BBC iPlayer app and his show Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Radio 2.   

 

He was the real deal and will be sorely missed by many.  RIP.

And another figure of ones history drops off the conveyor belt. Not nice when one by one the people you enjoyed and entertained the masses through the years is gone.
