WRCT regular Dennis "Al" Davis passed away Friday, June 23, 2006, after suffering a heart attack.
Al became a beloved part of WRCT when he made his stage debut in Damn Yankees. He performed in The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, and was last seen in Gypsy. He also helped backstage for The Rainmaker.
Al worked as a Senior Copywriter in the Marketing department at Renaissance Learning, Inc., where he was a friend and valued employee. Al is survived by his wife Sue and their three children Kyle, Christina, and Luke. Al was tremendously devoted to his family and his faith. He enjoyed biking and participating in WRCT productions, and he was a great fan of major league baseball—especially his beloved Los Angeles Dodgers. His talent and wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed.
