Casey Kasem, radio legend and voice over actor (he was Shaggy on Scooby Doo!) passed away at age 82, according to TMZ. He was hanging on for a while there, on life support, after a bitter rivalry between his wife and his 3 kids (from a previous marriage). Mr. Kasem was battling Parkinson’s Disease and dementia. Kind of sad for Father’s Day, but I thought it was important to honor his passing somehow.
He was the original voice of the American Top 40 countdown.
I hope he can finally rest in peace.
As someone who has listened to his voice over the years and appreciated his talent, I hope his family will now let him RIP.
