Dennis Clark

The Big “Dee” as he was called was a stranger to no one, at least not for long. He approached Tedd Webb at a Nokia Mobira remote in 1997 and said ”I want to get into radio!”. Tedd directed him to the office of Interns, where most everyone gets their foot in the door nowadays. It did not take long for Dennis Clark to make the most of this opportunity.

Clark landed a job in the Promotions department and before long was taking care of all the particulars. The Big Dee could get you tickets to any show, and good seats I might add.

Dennis got some on the air duties as well, and was instrumental in the birth “Cigar Fest”, Ybor City’s very own festival celebrating the cigar industry. You could see Dennis in his white guallabera, and stogey in hand, panama hat, just enjoying the event to it’s fullest.

Dennis was struck by a kidney ailment earlier in life and needed a transplant. He received the organ and appeared to be well on his way to a full recovery. Complications indicated he would need another kidney, and it eventually claimed his life in January of 1999.

Never had an individual been around for such a short time, yet touched so many lives. He left behind a wife and two adorable children, Dexter and Molly.
