Dan Turner R.I.P.
Sad to report that former Toronto newscaster Dan Turner has passed away.
Dan worked at CFGM - CHUM and CP24.
He grew up and schooled in London & was from a broadcast family.
His father Pat Turner was a newscaster& sister Kelly was also an on air talent.

Re: Dan Turner R.I.P.
I am very sad to hear this. I knew Dan and worked with him briefly, although I hadn't seen him in many years. He was a rock solid guy. I was aware he'd been sick for some time, but I didn't think he was so close to the end.
I remember him from one place you didn't mention - CKEY, where he worked for a few short years in the late 70s. I recall Taylor Parnaby, the news director there, kept saying to him, "Don't run off to the networks on us, Dan!" in a joking way. That's how talented he was.
Great voice, great person. My condolences to his family.

As a listener, I liked Dan's style and delivery, he seemed upbeat in his delivery of the news and was a true professional...RIP Dan...and comfort to those who knew him and that were close to him.
The world would be so good if it weren't for some people...
