We regret
to report the passing of one of WDRC's most popular
personalities. Don Wade worked at Big D from 1964-1967,
holding down several time slots, most notably the morning
drive program after Ron
Landry and before Sandy
Beach.
In September
2012 Don suffered a seizure while traveling to his daughter's
wedding. Doctors discovered a growth on his brain that developed
into brain cancer. Don and his wife, Roma, co-hosted the morning
show on WLS in Chicago from August 1989 until December 2012.
Don was 72 when he passed away in Florida on Friday, September
6, 2013. The following announcement appeared on the WLS website:
