9 Casey Kasem memories in tribute to the late radio legend

by Mark Teo

“Early this Father’s Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends. Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers. The world will miss Casey Kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian; we will miss our Dad,” his daughter posted on Facebook, signing off the post as “Kerri, Mike and Julie,” or Kasem’s children.

But while Kasem will be best remembered as a wildly successful music radio personality, he’s also had a decorated (and sometimes strange) career. Here are some of the voices Kasem’s used over his career.
