Popular radio host Dan Foster is dead. He died yesterday while receiving treatment in a hospital in Lagos.

His fans, friends and colleagues been paying tributes to him. Dan Foster was loved by all.

J. J Omojuwa, an author and influencer was an ardent fan of the late radio host.
@Omojuwa tweeted:
“Dan Fosterā€™s voice was a huge part of my growing up. His voice on Cool FM. His playfulness. His kindness. Long before I saw what he looked like, his voice communicated his personality in a way no picture needed to. This one is one loss too many. This is a really sad day.

“Cool candid phone. Chocolat Royale. Cool link. The big dog Santa give away. Etc. I still have Dan Fosterā€™s voice from his morning run on Cool FM back in the 2000s in my head. That was the only time I didnā€™t mind that the OAP was talking instead of playing music. & his selections?

“When Dan Foster left Cool FM I was shocked because I didnā€™t even know there was a difference between Dan Foster and Cool FM. He was Cool FM. By then though, I had stopped doing regular radio.”

ā€œI just got off the phone, my friend Oscar confirmed that Dan Foster has passed on. This is a very very dark year. How can I overcome this unending melancholy? Rest in Peace, dear friend,ā€ Edoho tweeted.

Comedian, Bovi, said, ā€œWhen I moved to Lagos in November 2003, Dan Foster was one of the reasons I didnā€™t run back home to Delta State. I tuned into Cool Fm one morning and Dan made me love radio. Rip Big Dawg! Iā€™m sad you left. But Iā€™m happy your mark remains forever!ā€

Kola Tubosun @kolatubosun tweeted:
“Yet to read a decent obituary of Dan Foster. A Black American who chose to settle in Lagos. He was a huge influence on Nigerian radio from the early 2000s. Will like to read his story. Who was he? What motivated him? He obviously touched a number of lives. May he rest.”

Ben Murray-Bruce also had something to say about the late radio host.
