My name is Tiffany DuFoe and I am fundraising for my father, Terry DuFoe. Tons of people know us, either by name or through our various creative efforts. Most notably, we are the owners, operators, and hosts of Cult Radio A-Go-Go! and its flagship radio show, CRAGG Live. We've been running CRAGG for 23 years, from our house, for free (with no revenue from the station), as it is our passion project and we've always felt that the preservation of retro pop culture and the drive-in world is important for us and future generations who never got the chance to experience it. We have also been writers with VideoScope Magazine for about 3 decades, with Terry (father) starting out with Joe Kane way back when and bringing me (Tiffany, the daughter) into the fold once I was old enough.

Terry's career in the entertainment industry started far before that, however. Terry started out in AM/FM broadcasting in 1977 on the terrestrial radio station WLUV out of Love's Park, Illinois. After that, he went on to DJ local dances and worked as an event host and emcee. He even took a turn as a stage magician for a while. Then he began doing celebrity interviews and writing for various national magazines including Orbit, Onsat, Satellite Entertainment Guide, Outre, Filmfax, Sirens of Cinema, Draculina, and VideoScope Magazines. In 2002, Terry took his career as a celebrity interviewer and combined it with his radio experience to launch Cult Radio A-Go-Go!, one of the first independent 24/7 streaming pop culture online radio stations.

For those who know us and our story, you know Terry has battled a myriad of health problems over the past 16 years or so, and specifically, he has been bravely battling cancer for 3 years. If you don't know the backstory, you can read about his original cancer diagnosis here: https://gofund.me/546579a27

It is with a broken heart that I must announce that on September 3rd, 2025, at 3:39 pm, Terry lost his courageous battle with cancer and passed away. It is taking all my willpower just to type this through my tears. Terry was not only my dad, but he was my partner in all things Cult Radio and VideoScope that we created and worked on together over the decades. He was my only family left. His absence in my life is currently something I don't even know how to process or cope with. He is irreplaceable. He was my world.

A few weeks ago, Terry started not feeling well. By August 26th, some telltale lymphoma symptoms presented themselves and I knew he needed to get help fast since the previous TWO times he had lymphoma, it was very aggressive and moved FAST. We went to the ER and they started doing workups. They discovered that Terry had multiple infections, and they started treating those while I pushed and waited for them to screen for lymphoma. I knew what it was. Eventually, they did a biopsy and transferred him to a cancer center in LA, but by that time, he was worse, and it had become too late. He went into septic shock and all of his organs started shutting down. I fought (and I do mean FOUGHT) the doctors to honor his last wishes, which was that he wanted everything possible done to save him, but it was just too late. The day he passed, I got the results from the biopsy that his lymphoma had indeed come back a third time. But he had been fighting for over a week and his heart just couldn't sustain him any longer.

Over the next days and weeks, I have to navigate the unknown and expensive territory of figuring out how to get Terry transported back to Illinois where he will be laid to rest in our family plot next to his mom and dad. Any donations that you can spare will go towards Terry's final arrangements.

Unfortunately, other than me, all of Terry's family has already passed on. He had many friends through our radio stations and VideoScope, but they are scattered all over the country. So, a service may not be realistic. However, if I am able to pull myself together, we may have an online celebration of life on September 10th, which would have been his 69th birthday.

I appreciate everyone who has shown me kindness during this very difficult time. Thank you.
