Born in Laddonia, Mo. In 1906, Misenheimer had a long career in television and radio. Before the advent of television, he worked for nearly all of the major radio stations in New York City.
Before World War II, he owned and operated a radio repair shop in Durham. After the war he helped build several radio stations in other parts of the country before returning to Durham and helping build WTVD.
He also moonlighted at several area radio stations until the mid 60s. He then began a teaching career that lasted until his retirement.
Misenheimer is survived by sons, Bobby (Rhonda) Misenheimer, Wilmington, and William (Frances) Misenheimer, Carriere, Miss.; and one granddaughter, Evelyn Misenheimer, Wilmington.
