"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 Dee Attends His Own Funeral (Pt6) Thursday, The day before Gary Dee’s Funeral: Gary begins by slamming the print media in Cleveland. Both the Press and Plain Dealer feel the full brunt of Gary Dee as he proclaims, “Gary Dee is going out Number One!” Callers from listeners: A caller claims she was Gary’s second caller when he first came to Cleveland. A female caller reads a short eulogy that is quite unique. A caller asks if Count Manalasco will be on this morning, which gets Gary going on Count Voodoo. A caller suggests Gary have Slovenian funeral which she describes in detail. What follows is perhaps the most thought provoking moment in Cleveland radio history! Gary asks if you had to write your own obituary, what would you say about yourself? Next is a cavalcade of some of the brightest, not mention funny calls from listeners that understood exactly what Gary Dee was all about! A caller claims his brother is a monument dealer. Gary asks what should be on Gary’s tombstone? The caller, unrehearsed replies: “Here lies the man who came to Cleveland with the silver bullet that ricochet!” A caller warns Gary to use an umbrella at the funeral because all those pigeons will christen him!
