I loved almost every minute of it," said Bonaduce. "I want to thank the loyal fans who have followed me throughout my career, including the last 12 based in Seattle. Thank you to iHeartRadio for believing in me, to my on-air partner Sarah for putting up with me. My thanks to Paul Anderson, my agent for decades who has been my steady guide and business partner."

"And most importantly, to the love of my life, Amy, who is my rock. Retirement is just a word, I expect to visit my friends and family at KZOK as I pop back on the air from time to time to say hello. I've been in the entertainment industry for six decades and this is the best time I've ever had. Thank you all," added Bonaduce.

"Besides the great show that Danny has helped guide all these years, getting to know Danny and working beside him has been a pleasure. He's a down to earth guy who always enjoys the simple things, and we're going to miss him and his energy around here," said KZOK Program Director Chris Sargent.

"Danny's retirement marks the end of an era in radio. His unique talent, charisma and dedication made a lasting impact on the industry, and he will be missed greatly by both listeners and our team at iHeartMedia Seattle," added iHeartMedia Seattle President Mark Glynn.
