This isn't quite as horrible a bummer for me as Vonnegut, but just the same I'd rather he was still out there.

First time I ever knew his work? I was six, back in 1977, and he narrated this record called The Story of Star Wars, which had lots of bits from the film that he did linking bits for. I think I can still remember every line. A small part of all he did but for my young self, pretty vitally important! RIP.

He pwned Archie Bunker a couple times.

Georg Stanford Brown should work in front of the camera more.
I thought sure Roscoe died a few months ago, sad anyway.
