Joe D’Ambrosio, longtime Connecticut sports broadcaster and “Voice of the UConn Huskies”, turns 60 this week and the milestone did not go unnoticed. A surprise birthday party marked the occasion with proceeds going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (Joe has battled the disease much of his life and is a big supporter of the organization). At the Pond House in Hartford this past week were SNY’s Meghan Pattyson-Culmo, NBC CT’s Gerry Brooks, Angelo Culmo, Joe D., NBC CT’s Kevin Nathan, WTIC-am’s Ray Dunaway and NBC CT’s Jeff Stoecker.

Governor Nancy Wyman, Joe’s Husky broadcast partner Wayne Norman, former Governor John Rowland, WFSB’s Joe Zone, Chris “Franchise” Frances, Bob Picozzi of ESPN, The Day’s Mike DiMauro, the Courant’s Don Amore, WTIC’s Suzanne McDonald and Steve Salhany and Bob Joyce Sr. & Jr.
