Former Pittsburgh Disc Jockey Dies

PITTSBURGH, PA — A former disc jockey who spent nearly a decade at one of Pittsburgh's best-known radio stations has died.

Former WYDD-FM DJ Dave Shedlock died on Monday after a battle with cancer. He was 68.

Shedlock, of East Deer, worked at WYDD from 1981 until 1989 when it was one of the city's most popular stations. Before arriving at WYDD, he worked two years at WLSW in Scottdale.

"Dave was a fun guy," former WYDD DJ Jim DeCeasre recalled in a social media post. "Full of energy and hilarious sarcasm."

According to his obituary, Shedlock graduated from California University of Pennsylvania (now PennWest University) with a degree in communications. After leaving WYDD, he pursued another degree that led to him working for Westinghouse Corp. and Zoll Corp.

He retied from Zoll earlier this month.
