DEL MONROE

5 June 2009 - It was with great sadness that we learned that Del Monroe, Kowalski in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, passed away on Friday 5th June. Del was a great friend of fans around the world and represented all that was wonderful and good about Irwin Allen's worlds. His visit to England in 1998 (for the VIP convention) with fellow Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea stars Terry Becker and Allan Hunt was a moment cherished in the hearts of British fans. He will long be remembered as Kowalski and we send our love and very deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

We are planning to set up a gallery in memory of Del and would welcome any photographs from his TV or convention appearances to add to the tribute. If you can help, please email us using the email option on the IANN contact page.
