"Gary Dee Attends His Own Funeral" was broadcast the last week of March 1974. Now, 40 years after it aired, the show has such deep impact and even more meaning than it did in 1974. This is a story that is humorous, thought provoking, and serious at times. Nobody suspected what Gary Dee had in mind throughout this series of programs. This story has an ending with a twist, but I won't spoil it for you.

Gary is having a doughnut because he doesn't want to die on an empty stomach. Gary checks-in with Ciatta Mickey with the traffic report. A call from “The Vicious Piranha” who was a regular caller with a wry sense of humor, that Gary seemed to connect with. Gary explains to a listener that while in college he had an assignment to write his own obituary. From that evolved the idea to do this series of radio programs. And Gary takes it a step further and involves the entire city of Cleveland. A caller suggests that Gary not be buried, but mounted (like a fish). Gary says that Liz Richards sent him some flowers. Gary says God may be Black, a caller responds that God is not Black, he is any kind of color. Gary gets philosophical with a caller and asks what would you do if you knew you were going to die within two years. A caller threatens to squirt Gary with her holy water pistol. In Gary's quick wit, he responds “There's a gun totin' Catholic”! Gary introduces Bob Price and the news. Gary kibitzes with Ciatta Mickey who enters the studio and tells Gary to pull down his shirt because his “belly is showing”. Gary introduces sportscaster Bob Neal.
