In Memoriam: Casey Kasem

This is a section that I really do not like to update. In fact, I like to avoid it. Today, the legendary Casey Kasem has passed away. To most, he was the voice of American Top 40. However, he was the voice of many legendary characters as well as commercials. Now, the reason he's mentioned on this site is, that for 40 years, he was the voice of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Today a piece of my childhood has passed today when Kasem passed. These last few days, years really have been tough for him but he has found rest. In retirement there was chaos but, his career has been busy, full and amazing! I mean, he has been a part of so many of our childhoods and memories that he will never be forgotten. The gang on a case to battle something they think is supernatural while Shaggy and Scooby take off in fear! In the end, the bad guy is unmasked and the mystery of everything is solved. Those are memories that you'll never forget, something simple, something fun. If he taught us anything it was to always reach for the stars. Goodbye old buddy old pal, you will be missed.
