RIP: Dale Sommers


Dale “The Truckin’ Bozo” Sommers, host of WLW-AM’s overnight show for truckers (1984-2004), died Friday in a Florida hospice. He was 68.

He retired in April 2004 “due to health concerns,” the station announced at the time, and was replaced by his son, Steve.

“The Truckin’ Bozo” made national news in October 2002, a “Truckin’ Bozo” listener from Northern Kentucky assisted in catching the DC sniper after hearing Bozo give the license plate over the air.
