Obituary

Dennis Michael Daily passed at the Daviess Community Hospital on December 30, 2024. He was born in Washington, Indiana, March 9, 1947, the son of Joseph M. and Eileen (Baker) Daily. His parents proceeded him in death.

A 1965 graduate of Washington Catholic High School, Dennis began his radio career at WAMW/WFML as a teenager. He graduated from Vincennes University and attended Indiana University before moving to Washington, DC.

A born communicator, Dennis worked for Mutual Broadcasting for several years and was the original producer of the Larry King radio show. Dennis also served as the press secretary for 8th District Congressman Joel Deckard before accepting a position with United Press International (UPI) where he worked as the National Managing Editor and, later, West Coast Bureau Chief in Los Angeles.

Although he lived in other areas of the country, Dennis never forgot his hometown roots. He came back to Washington to anchor local coverage of Christmas Eve services at four local churches for WAMW for more than 25 years.

Dennis loved traveling and playing bingo. He was also a history buff and was writing a book about the D-Day invasion before he passed.

Those who mourn Dennis' passing include his sister, Diane, and many friends and colleagues throughout the country.

A Celebration of Life ceremony will take place at a later date.
