There will never be any other like Mark Dailey. What a truly talented and unique newsman. This is very saddening news.

Mark Dailey will be missed. Everywhere.

Yes, it's sad. I heard of him, but can't remember if I actually heard him or not. I probably did. It is sad though.

Really Cheryl?

And I mean, REALLY?

You sound like a total flake.

One of the most beloved on air giants of Toronto media has died from the most despicable disease ever and this is the drivel you come up with? You should be ashamed of your lame commentary. Jesus Christ.

@Liz

To be fair, Cheryl is in Montreal and may not have been familiar with Mark.

Mark is a legend, a voice I feel like I know even though I've never met him or spoken to him. Can't believe he's gone.

'Dailey' 'citytv' and 'RIP mark' are trending worldwide on twitter. That's impressive. Looks like he really is being remembered "Everywhere."

As many others have said, he was "The Voice" of Toronto. Loved watching him on the news. He always told it the way it was. His promos for CITY were often hilarious. His passing is so sad. RIP Mark.

Liz is awesome!

I dont understand why Cheryl (a) would comment if she's never heard him and (b)if she lives in Montreal, why did she care so much about Toronto's mayoral election.

Like everyone, I'm really saddened by this, even though I only met Mark a couple of times. It is curious that he was 57, given the channel that he is so closely identified with (or vice-versa) was once "Channel 57, Cable 7".

RIP, Mark.

Oh, this is just too sad. I was thinking about Mark this past week too. I was like, "I wonder how Mark's doing. Haven't heard any news from him"...I really thought he was going to get better. This is just so sad, I don't know what to do. Oh boy...this sucks.

Such a sad loss. His distinctive voice brought me such comfort. Cancer is a cruel bitch! RIP Mark.

Cancer has hit my small family more than once. Fortunately, there are scores in the "win" column. No matter who, it's tougher to take a loss this way. He fought cancer with grace and honour for years. RIP, Mark Daley. Moses Znaimer may have been the man behind CityTV, but Mark was THE VOICE.

Mark Dailey and his commanding baritone voice will be extremely hard to replace if at all. you guys are right, he is the VOICE of Toronto's news. I grew up listening to him. very sad, but he is in a better place now. God bless him.

I really hope they continue to use his voiceovers. It would be a nice tribute to the man who can never be replaced. RIP Mark.

Just the other day I was thinking about how much I enjoyed his voiceovers during the lead-ins and ads for Great Movies, and how they probably did as much as anything to shape my sense of humor. I have trouble imagining someone these days taking the piss out of his own network to the extent that Mark did, and that's a damn shame.

@Cheryl - Have to agree with Liz and Argie. If you have nothing to say about Mark Dailey, then don't. I'm surprised you didn't do a little plug for your Montreal and Phoenix teams.

But TO THE POINT, very sad that Mark is gone. As a teenager in the eighties he was the 'voice' of City - everywhere. Rest in peace.

I thought about Mark the other day,& wondered how his treatment was going. When I turned on the TV last night, I was just so upset, it's a person that you have seen for over 28 yrs and it was devastating! He was a truly wonderful person, that I never even met! But you can pick them out, Sympathy to his family and we the viewers will have the best memories of Mark.

I think it was just about 6 and a half years ago when I dropped off my late wife at the Sunnybrook Cancer Centre, parked the car and then came inside to wait with her until her appointment with her oncologist. When I arrived, she was waiting for her blood test, sitting opposite Mark and talking to him about his diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer. Of course, I immediately recognized Mark, and when my wife asked me if I knew who it was, I told her that I certainly did. Mark talked to me briefly before he received his blood tests and went to see his oncologist.

My wife was suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer and passed away just a few months later. Mark went on to become a spokesman of sorts for prostate cancer. 3 years after my wife's demise, I myself was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Mark's openness about his cancer encouraged me to deal with my cancer in a straight forward way. When I learned about his new struggle with kidney cancer, it really made me feel badly, because Mark has always been such a huge personality on the Toronto television scene. His courage in the face of adversity has inspired me and I am certain, many others who have been afflicted by this deadly multi-headed disease.

Rest in peace Mark. You are missed.

I have always pinned Mark's iconic voice to the City of Toronto!
We will all miss his personality on TV..the sound of his voice during the years have brought comfort and familiarity as we had watched him since the 80's. Bye for now mark!
