A Father’s Influence: Melissa DuPuy Honors Her Dad, Monty DuPuy

Melissa DuPuy joins us to honor her father, Monty DuPuy—a longtime radio and television personality whose warmth and curiosity left a lasting impression on both his community and his family. Photos and additional info available here: https://legacystories.usMonty began his broadcasting career at just 14 years old and went on to become a familiar voice and face in South Carolina, working in radio, news, weather, and children’s programming for decades. But through Melissa’s eyes, we meet the father behind the public figure. She shares vivid memories of growing up—watching him on television, visiting the radio station, playing music together, and the simple, meaningful moments that shaped her life. The episode closes with a special performance by Melissa of “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” the piece her father used to sign off his early radio broadcasts.
