Remembering Dave Tucker

We share with heavy hearts that Dave Tucker passed away in mid-March.

On Friday, March 7, about a week before he died, the station hosted a gratitude show for Dave. He was our Board Chair, co-Music Director, Programming Committee Member, programmer mentor, all-around volunteer of all things, and most importantly, long-time host of "The Long and Winding Road."

Dave was diagnosed with a fast-moving and incurable cancer. The show was our way to honor him during the limited time he had left with us. We played his favorite tunes, told stories, and showed our radio love for his impact on this place. Dave was instrumental in these first few years of community ownership, and his legacy around here will be long-lasting. You can listen to the show in our special archives, linked above.

Our annual volunteer of the year award is now named in his honor: The Dave Tucker Volunteer of the Year Award.
