We were saddened to learn that longtime Dayton Daily News columnist Dale Huffman died Saturday evening, July 25, at Kettering Memorial Hospital. Huffman, age 79, had been battling kidney cancer and other ailments. Huffman had been a fixture in local news since 1968, sharing good news and happy stories from around Dayton. Huffman was our 2014 honoree for the Living Legends of the Dayton Daily News Archive.
We mourn his loss alongside the Dayton community, and we extend our condolences to his family and friends.
