    I grew up with that voice, both on the radio and watching Scooby Doo.

    RIP.

    grew up listening to American Top 40 (I didn't have cable back then) , and watching Scooby Doo.
    I hope his family resolved their issues for his last moments.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
