I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. Every time I would return to Decatur to see family, I had my car radio tuned to 107.3 WDKR and I enjoyed hearing Kevin's voice on the air. My family and I have Nanette, Ian and Cole in our thoughts. Much love to you guys.

I loved waking up and listening to his voice every morning on the oldies station WDKR doing the news, time it was, or anything on the radio that I listened to for years. I miss the Oldies WDKR and this station. RIP Mr Grindstaff!!!
