"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 (Pt1) Gary Dee talks to “WERE’s own last vestige of truth and human decency” Bob Neal (Who did play by play of Cleveland Indians Baseball for many years). Bob and Gary talk about an A.F.T.R.A. meeting and Gary not being able to attend. Bob mentions that there is a $5.00 fine for not attending. Some Tax talk is next between Gary and Bob. Gary mentions the current President Of The United States, Richard M. Nixon! Next is a mention of the George Foreman, Ken Norton Heavyweight fight the previous night. A quick traffic helicopter report is next by Ciatta Mickey who mentions prostitutes in the area. Gary dates the program Wednesday morning the 27th of March (1974). Gary kicks off this segment by proclaiming that Cleveland is the most sinful city in the world!! Gary takes calls from listeners. "Brother Gary" displays his unique showmanship, kicking into high gear as he preaches "Hellfire and Damnation" if you don't "repent and confess your sins"!! Gary and Bob Neal kibitz a bit. There was something about how Gary and Bob interacted with each other on the air that amazed listeners. Bob mentions “Lonely Acres” referring to Gary’s home on Shore Acres Drive and the Lake Erie beach erosion Gary had talked about many times on the air. Brother Gary now gets into preaching mode and encourages Bob Neil to testify! Bob testifies and thanks Gary for saving him -- Truly Classic Cleveland Radio!
