Denis Walter sends emotional message to Ernie Sigley following Alzheimer’s announcement

Denis Walter has sent an emotional message to close friend Ernie Sigley following the public announcement he has Alzheimer’s disease.

Walter, who took the 3AW Afternoons reins from Sigley after his retirement in 2008, paid tribute to his predecessor on Tuesday.

He thanked everyone who had wished Sigley well.

‘My only wish now is that Ernie, who is renowned for good fortune, can be a recipient, perhaps, of some new treatment that returns him to the bubbly, naughty performer we’ve all known and loved,’ Denis Walter said.
