Monty DuPuy

Like most kids in the 60's and 70's who lived anywhere near the TV station, I had a chance to be on Monty's Rascals.. I will freely admit that I was afraid of Stowe Hoyle's character..I think the beard scared me. But, I do remember, fondly, the show and Monty Dupuy. And, it was also the first time I had eaten ice cream from one of those cups that included the wooden paddle. In 2014, my father went to Hospice of the Upstate. My mother, who remembered my fear of Mr. Doohickie, told me to go to...

I;m sorry about coming on here so late but just now found this. I talked with Monty several years ago next to where he use to work. But I was on his show a couple of times in the 1960's with him and Mr. Doohickey. I can still see hime till this day. Monty was a very nice man, easy to talk with. It really must have been an honor to have such a wonderful person in your life.

Reading through all of these messages truly continue to make me smile. I never considered life without grandaddy in it. I knew his contributions, knew his legacy, but to me he was just my grandfather. It continues to amaze me months later all the love and support we have received. Thank you all.

I have some very fond memories of Monty in my youth and recently we were reminiscing about his morning radio show at work. I can remember hearing him offering a "John Deere lawn mower for $50 call 242-1234". I miss the simplicity of that era. I also want to send my condolences to Melissa and the family and let them know that his memory will live on. Jim Rohrer

Monty went to school with my Mother, was a neighbor and good friend to her family for many years. He and his brother will be forever remembered in the Black Mountain area. You don't have to look far to see Ed's photography or to hear a native talk about Monty's Rascals. Even I remember them. We pray for the family to have peace. God Bless you all.

Mr. Dupuy made Greenville and the entire upstate area a better place for everyone. I knew him personally when I was a kid because my dad, Johnny Wright, worked closely with him at WFBC TV and radio. He was always gracious and kind and he will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family.

He was just always there when i was growing up. Be it Monty's Rascals or Monty in the Morning. Wonderful memories. Rest In Peace. Prayers of comfort for your family.

So many fond memories of Mr. Monty. Was a real pro at all his different jobs over the years. He seemed so sincere and honest and kind to everyone. I just know he is using that wonderful voice and kind heart in a very special way in heaven! God bless all the family. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Monty, you will be missed!
