Beasley Media Group has announced that legendary 105.5 WDHA/Dover, NJ on-air personality Curtis Kay has passed away following a three-and-a-half year battle with lung cancer.
The 40-year radio veteran launched his career in 1980, when Howard Stern hired him to work at WRNW/Westchester, NY. Kay eventually joined WDHA within the same year, where he went on to play the best classic rock for the station’s loyal listeners for nearly four decades.
“Besides being an enormous and passionate talent, Curtis was the salt of the earth,” said Beasley Media-New Jersey Senior Vice President/Regional Market Manager Dan Finn. “He was such a kind person with an incredible disposition. I’m proud to have had the honor to work with him.”
“Curtis fought a brave battle with cancer for three and a half years and wanted nothing more than to be with his listeners and his station family on Horsehill Road,” said WDHA PD Terrie Carr. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his sister and extended family. He will be greatly missed by all of us.”
