I heard this on the radio today.  I could have sworn he had already died. 

I thought he would have died by now, too. But he did live a long, full life (91).

I have great memories of those commercials when I was a kid back in the 60s & 70s. He was an icon, that's for sure.  :\'(

That's not what I mean, what I mean is I swear that I heard a story about him dying earlier this year.  I guess I am just having a bad case of de ja vu (or however you spell it)

Lucky for us, Tony the Tiger was a man, um, animal of few words.  I'm sure Kelloggs has plenty of tapes of his voice saying "THEY'RE GRRREAT!!!".

At least we can still here is wonderful voice singing "You're a mean on Mr. Grinch" when we watch Christmas specials!!

I heard about it this morning. I never even knew who he was until now. He lived a long time.

But Fred Flintstone just died!  Say, ever notice how you never saw Fred Flintstone and Tony the Tiger in the same place?

Thurl Ravenscroft, your Tony the Tiger voice was Grrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaattt !

Then again, he was from Norfolk Nebraska!

This is sad news.  :\'(

Maybe you read that Mr. Ravenscroft had terminal cancer. I had several instances where I thought I heard certain celebs dying before their time (eg: George Benson, Johnny Brown, both still alive). You are not alone, Dagwood. ;)

You're probably right.  Makes sense, anyway. Thanks. :)

I heard a rumor about George Benson, but I know Grover Washington, Jr., is gone....

He died quite some time ago in the 90s or 2000s. Not sure. :-\\

Yeah that is sort of a bummer, eh?  I loved the cereal.  He DID have a cool voice too.  So convincing, yet so motivating.  He was a cool voice! R.I.P. :-[
