It's surprising how the death of someone I don't personally know can truly, completely stop me in my tracks.
Mark Dailey passed away today at the age of 57. For as long as I can remember, he did the voiceover for CityTV (a local television channel). To me, he IS CityTV. He used to do these hilarious intros to the movies playing on the channel - a brief summary while injecting his own opinion (i.e. mocking the terribleness of the movie).
At the end of every hour, the channel shows a brief clip or montage of something related to the city and his voice would say, "This is CityTV... everywhere." A simple slogan, yet iconic to the channel. It's hard to imagine anyone else doing the voiceover.
CityTV and Toronto has suffered a great loss today. Mark Dailey, you will be missed.
