(from the Htfd Courant) - We have been notified that Hartford radio legend, Ken Griffin (aka Joseph T. Mulhall) died Sept. 28 at his home in Punta Gorda, Florida. He was 73. Griffin, as many in the Hartford area might remember, was a
well-known WPOP and WDRC personality during the 1960s and 1970s when
rivalry between the two then Top 40 stations was at its peak. Unbeknownst to many, Griffin, whose illustrious career took him to
Hollywood and back again, was the voice-over of the original Parkay
commercial. I have to admit I was one of those teenagers who took great delight
in calling in requests to Griffin while he was on the Hartford
airwaves...a pajama party pastime with memories that still make me
smile.
