The man, the myth, the legend behind 95.5, Hatcher Pass Radio, Terry Walley, passed away unexpectedly in his home in Fairbanks on November 30, 2018.
Terry was born April 18, 1963 in Fairbanks. His father was Bill “wee willie winkie” Walley, a television and radio personality from the 1950’s to the 90’s as well as being Mayor of Fairbanks. Terry had over 40 years of years of experience in broadcasting, and in 2011 he was inducted into Alaska Broadcaster’s Hall of Fame.
He was kind man. He kept his family history alive though stories he would tell. He loved his family and friends, he was a big kid at heart. He loved to travel. You couldn’t ask for a better friend. His laugh was contagious, and his smile would light up a room.
Terry had a passion for local musicians and their dreams. In honor of Terry, please join us at Klondike Mikes/ Main Street Grill, Dec. 15th for Singer/ Song Writer Showcase. We start to gather at 5pm and make a toast at 6, showcase to follow. Be sure to bring your appetite! There will be an all you can eat taco bar for $10.00. Terry enjoyed the sweeter things in life, so if you have a favorite dessert dish to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Please dust off your favorite purple or silver tie, shirt, dress, or your finest Hatcher Pass t-shirt. Please bring a nonperishable item or clothing attire, such as a coat, hat, mittens, socks, or personal hygiene items, to be donated to The Yak, a local nonprofit for youth in the Valley, in honor of this great man.
Thank you for making this world a better place. Fly high, rock the skies... Till we meet again.
