He's gone ;(?!

[slai]

Voice over movie announcer and actor Don LaFontaine passes away on Monday. I can't believe he's gone ;(! I was on his general news e-mail list because I had wrote to him for an autograph awhile back, and he did mention he was recovering from 3 major surgeries to his lungs, heart, and stomach (tumors, growths, temporary diabetes due to steroid treatment, radiation pnuemonitis, etc.). It sounded like he would be okay back on Aug 11th when the e-mail was sent out, but I guess he succumbed to one of those things --;.

I had written to LaFontaine shortly after I saw his Geico commercial started airing via his website, and he sent me a nice personalized autographed picture in the mail:

I'll miss him and his voice ;_;!
