Brad Davis Obituary – Brad Davis, a famous radio and TV backbone in the Hartford region for quite a long time, kicked the bucket Tuesday evening.

“Davis, a Marine veteran, started an over long term profession facilitating WDRC-AM’s morning public broadcast. In a period of seismic media changes, the Davis crowd remained with him, a demonstration of their common kind gestures,” Courant feature writer Kevin Rennie wrote in a blog entry Tuesday evening.

Davis began on neighborhood TV in 1959 with a dance party show and continued on to a profession that included insightful revealing and at last a famous morning radio program on WDRC-AM that he facilitated for quite a long time. Davis went through 43 years as host of the morning drive-time show on WDRC-AM. He was inhabiting the Connecticut Veterans Home in Rocky Hill at the hour of his demise.

At the point when he was accepted into the Connecticut Veterans Hall of Fame, Davis let a correspondent know that quite a bit of his prosperity had to accomplish with his hard-working attitude.

“I get joked about this constantly, ‘For what reason do you come in so early?’ ” Davis said. “I generally tell them, ‘Let me let you know something, you don’t delay for as long as possible. You need to be ready, you need to realize what planned to occur, and be geared up for any eventuality.’

“In the event that I have one audience at 6 a.m., that audience merits as much consideration, data, and news as the crowd at 7:30 a.m. The people who simply stroll in and simply start the transmission, I let them know they would not go extremely far in the Marine Corps.”
