RINCETON, W.Va. -- For those in Southern West Virginia reminders of the funny guy from the deserted island can be found through the work of his widow and a unique radio station.

Five years ago this month actor Bob Denver passed away but his legacy lives on in the hearts of fans around the world.

Little Buddy radio hit the airwaves in the Princeton/Bluefield area in 2004. The station plays mostly oldies and is sprinkled with the voice of Bob Denver himself.

While he was alive, his voice promoted local companies with his wife Dreama. Those tuning in can still hear his voice.

Dreama says Bob was a very private person but the radio station is a personal legacy. She says it also helped to bring healing after losing her husband.

"I didn't know what to do with myself and honestly I didn't know if I'd survive it," she said. "That sounds dramatic but my family everyone who knew me was really concerned because I didn't really want to live without him. I didn't know how I would do that. I had Little Buddy Radio to submerse myself in."

The radio station is nonprofit, owned and operated by the Denver Foundation. Bob and Dreama because their son is autistic and they wanted to help West Virginia families in similar circumstances.

"His last legacy, the radio station and the foundation, he left that to West Virginia," she said. "I mean that's the most personal thing he had and he left it to this area because he loved it here and he wanted to help families here."

Dreama can also be heard on her station, promoting things she says West Virginians should be proud of.

Dreama grew up in Bluefield. While the couple lived in several different cities across the U.S., it was Bob's idea to move to the mountain state.

Bob and Dreama lived on top of a mountain in Princeton. She says he enjoyed waking up and looking at the rolling hills around him. He showed his love for the state through his involvement and investment into the area.
