This man had a great voice!  R.I.P. Don.

Well, at least the average layperson who had no idea who was behind that voice can now give him the recognition he deserves.

Although I'm sure that Geico commercial he was in helped a bit.  ^_~

Anyway, sad news.  He will be missed.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Wow, can't believe we wont be hearing that voice anymore...

This guy had one of the coolest jobs ever. I'd love to spend all day making recordings and getting paid for it.

This is a really cool short on him,

It is awesome that he'd sometimes record voice mail messages for people. Now, I really wish I'd sent him a request... but as I don't even own a telephone, it wouldn't have done me any good.

R.I.P Don, I'll miss hearing your voice, quite literally, everywhere.

I was really sad to hear about it this morning. :-(
