David Alton “Dave” Fleetwood of Seaford passed away Friday, Aug. 9, 2024. Born in Seaford on Dec. 22, 1953, he was the son of the late George Fleetwood and Doris (Bell) Fleetwood.
After graduating from Seaford Senior High School in 1972, Dave set his aspirations on radio and enjoyed a long career as a Radio Personality and DJ for the likes of 93.7 WSTW out of Wilmington, 98.1 WOGL-FM out of Philadelphia, Pa. and Cruising’ 92.1 WVLT out of Vineland, NJ. At WSTW, Dave had the highest rated midday radio show for the greater Wilmington area for seven consecutive years and was the host of a popular Saturday night all-request Oldies show. At WOGL-FM he produced and voiced many Philadelphia Phillies daily baseball promos and commercials for the Phillies Radio Network.
Dave was a huge fan of Superman and was known to quote Curly Howard from The Three Stooges on a regular basis. Unsurprisingly, Dave had a vast knowledge and love of Oldies and Classic Rock. Dave is survived by his sons Adam, Christopher and Michael Fleetwood; sisters Joyce Fleetwood and Kathleen (Fleetwood) Lingo; brothers Richard and James Fleetwood, as well as cousins, nieces and nephews, and countless friends and colleagues accumulated throughout his life and career.
