"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 (Pt5) Receiving calls of condolence from listeners. “The Vicious Piranha” one of Gary’s regular callers offers his last respects to Gary with his usual wry sense of humor. A caller asks if he can be a Pall Bearer. Gary mentions some of the expected attendees at his funeral tomorrow; Councilman David Trenton, Dennis Susnick, Gerald T. McFaul, Michael Climaco, and Mary Rose Oakar, Dangerous Kudukis, and Atesh, a belly dancer. A traffic report from Ciatta Mickey followed by The Bob Neal Sports Show. Gary calls Bob a turncoat because he will not be at Gary’s funeral. Bob Neal then proceeds to throw out several very funny zingers regarding Gary and his impending funeral tomorrow. Again Gary mentions his girlfriend (presumably Liz Richards) at the A.F.T.R.A. meeting the night before and Bob plays into it by saying she was eyeing a big, handsome, strong, attractive commercial announcer. Gary chuckles. Commercials. Calls from listeners theorizing that tomorrow will be Gary’s last day at the station. Gary answers the phone and a caller jokingly says “Hello Imus”? Gary then goes into a rant regarding Don Imus; Don Imus couldn’t shine my shoes; Imus never had the ratings that Gary Dee has today; Imus never got higher than third, and Gary Dee has never saddled up to come in second! A caller asks will the casket be open or closed? The casket will be open answers Gary.
