Share your condolences and memories for Dale Huffman »
In 1999, Huffman started writing a daily column that highlighted everyday life throughout the Miami Valley. The column ran every day for more than eight years until he was hospitalized with a serious illness. By then, he had written more than 3,000 consecutive columns in the Daily News.
He also spearheaded an annual “Mother of the Year” contest and “adopted” a group of students in the Class of 2000 as children who he followed and wrote about in his columns throughout the years.
Additionally, Huffman wrote a book titled “Dayton: The Cradle of Creativity” in 1998. In 2008, he was inducted into the Dayton Walk of Fame and recently donated his collection of memorabilia, papers and photographs to WSU’s Special Collections and Archives library.
