Longtime Salem sports broadcaster diesCourtesy
Statesman Journal
(July 31, 2009) Services will be this morning for John Cary, one of the pioneers of sports radio broadcasting in Salem.
Cary, 80, died Sunday in Portland. A graduate of the University of Oregon and an Air Force veteran in the Korean War, Cary started his broadcasting career in Corvallis before moving to KSLM in Salem, where he broadcast Willamette University, high school and Salem Dodgers minor league baseball games. "John broke some sports broadcasting ground" for those that followed, said Salem broadcaster Mike Allegre, the current voice of Willamette sports. "He was the first guy doing local sportscasting on the radio." Cary's sons, Robert and Paul are high school coaches in the Salem area. _______________________
