I didn't know him, or watch anything he was in, but man. Rest in peace. That is a really horrible way to go out. Condolences to his family, and friends.

Considering Transformers's tight production schedule, even more so since they were outsourcing animation companies from abroad which as a result plagued the show with animation errors, the show was rarely trapped with a bad reading. That's quite impressive. Also, his Jazz was spot on, I didn't even realize it wasn't Scatman Crothers and I still can't tell the difference.

RIP.

Simply put, the guy was a legend and everything he touched became legendary.

Death from stroke terrible way to die. Sad I'm thrilled that he was in Inspector Gadget, a show that I enjoyed watched as a kid.
May Mr. Burr rest in peace. He helped make many childhoods a fun blast.

Question: Does the [email protected] email not work? I sent a tip to that email, among others, back when his passing was first announced. To see this finally posted and not because of my email (or from me complaining on the forum about it being ignored) makes me think it's a waste of time to send emails to that address any more.

(Still haven't reported anything on Chris Ayers being on an indefinite hiatus from anime work due to lung and heart diseases that have landed him in and out of the ICU over last several months.)

Yeah, as a Jem fan, this hurt's been around for weeks and won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

And with June Foray..... Man, good thing I will have genuinely happy memories from this summer because these ones aren't fun.

Unfortunate that this had to happen. I hope his family can get through this. Thank you for having an impact on many lives.

RIP
