We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Dave "Joe Mama" is and will always be a Philly radio icon. He grew up on the radio with countless loyal listeners. Over the years we collaborated many times. Wonderful memories of him as a person as well as his radio persona. May your tears soon be outweighed with smiles from all of the happy memories.
