Oklahomans, Danny Williams has passed away at age 85.
If you grew up in Oklahoma City or western Oklahoma in the 50s or 60s, you surely knew of Danny Williams.
Farewell, Dan D Dynamo and Xavier T. Willard--I will miss you.
Oklahoma City television and radio icon Danny Williams dies
Williams died from complications following a heart attack in October, daughter Shevaun Williams said. He was 85.
“He was fabulous. Loved by everyone,” she said.
Williams was known for his on-air phrases and sayings, including “watch out for flying chairs!” which he coined after being struck by one during a broadcast for “Live Wrestling,” a professional wrestling program.
“He was just a very popular dude. He had a certain personality that clicked with Oklahomans,” said Ronnie Kaye, on-air personality at KOMA-FM 92.5. “He communicated in a special way, right down there with the people. The man just had that genius about him.”
