We are sad to reports that former WOLF Radio Nighttime great broadcasters Dale Dorman has died Tuesday October 21, 2014 at age 71 in Tewksbury, Mass. Dale started at Syracuse's WOLF AM-1490 in September 1964, first doing mornings before being shifted to the night show.Then departed WOLF for West Coast Radio in August 1965 (Kresno Ca & San Francisco) before once again gracing the Syracuse airwaves at WOLF in January 28 1966 though Sept 19, 1966,
During that time his creative energy changes what Syracuse Nighttime Radio would be for years to come. He also had the honor of introducing the Rolling Stones at the Syracuse War Memorial Auditorium in July 1966..
You can read his total updated story in Chapter 16 of this series. Dale would go in to influence so many Syracuse radio great as Jim Sims, Howie Castle, Don Bombard (Bob Shannon), Fred Horton, Nick Caplan, Lee Goodman, myself. and so many others.. Dale Dorman was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2010. He will be truly missed.
