I loved all three of the gentleman mentioned here. It seems like a passing of the torch, the old familiars arepassing on, I guess to make way for the new breed. I thank them for years of comforting performances, they really did helped to shape my childhood. RIP

all four of these personalities added a lot of life to the world. When I read your blog today, I was saddened. We didn't come to stay, and the beauty that I'm happy to see is that they all lived long rewarding lives, but we as humans continue to want more and more. I will miss them all, but I will never forget their contributions. Thanks for posting.
