What a legend. Quite an unsung hero when you think about it.

I never liked children's TV, but my condolences go to his family.

Wow, that sucks. I remember watching those cartoons when I was a kid. Those were the good days, when people didn't overstress themselves about too much violence in a cartoon.

Hope St Peter gives him a great big Hound Dog Howdy when he arrives.
H-B stuff was never great animation but it was perfect visual junk food for my generation.
