[Castiel]

Casey Kasem, the internationally famous radio broadcaster with the cheerful manner and gentle voice who became the king of the top 40 countdown with a syndicated show that ran for decades, died Sunday. He was 82.

"Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends," his daughter, Kerri Kasem, said in a statement posted online. "Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken."

He passed away at a hospital in Gig Harbor, Wash.

I used to turn the radio on super low when I was supposed to be asleep and listen to him on American top 40. He voiced so many characters from my childhood, this sucks. R.I.P.

Haha, same here. I even used to listen to the repeats on Saturday morning just for the hell of it. On top of him also voicing Shaggy and various characters from Transformers... those are my two fav. shows on teletoon retro.

Damn
