Munse was on the air for more than 30 years and Munse's morning show partner on KORA-FM Roger Garrett told a local TV station "Roy Gene's contributions to Brazos Valley radio have been priceless. Roy had a lot to do with KORA going from just an automated station which is what it was when he first got here into being a full-blown local information personality radio station, which for the longest time was just him, he filled up the radio himself. Munse was only 55 years old when he lost his battle with cancer. KORA-FM is located in Bryan, Texas.
Wednesday afternoon, Munse's friend and co-worker, Chris Austin read listeners a note written by Roy Gene's brother, Robert Munse that served to comfort those who loved the radio legend, "A man does not stay 30 plus years if he does not love the place and the people. Thank you to a lot of individuals, Bryan/College Station and the great State of Texas for making this house a home."A "Celebration of Life" ceremony will be held for Roy Gene Munse at the Kyle House at 3pm on Saturday. The Kyle House is located in Bryan.
