There were many other radio show spin offs from his weekly top 40. Some he even hosted himself.

Casey Kasem had a soothing baritone voice many people enjoyed

Apparently there was a little family drama leading up to his death.

His daughter Kerri Kasem had a hand in fighting his wife for the right to care for him.

Jay Bird · 9:05 PM

So in the midst of fighting over who was gonna care for him, he pased

Lizz Taylor · 9:06 PM

Kind of. Yes. Apparently his wife had removed him from some facility and Kerri did not like that

Lizz Taylor · 9:06 PM

Jay Bird · 9:07 PM

Hmmmm that would be quite the predicament

Lizz Taylor · 9:07 PM

Don't even say Howard stern! He's just crass!!!

Jay Bird · 9:07 PM

He is a disgrace to radio

Jay Bird · 9:07 PM

He's a womanizing loser
