Tallen Look-Alike Don LaFontaine Passes Away

[Maestroh]

"In a world (http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/02/obit.lafontaine/index.html) where you're only one heartbeat from eternity...an old man will sink an entire movie industry by his mere absence!"

For all of the hours of pleasure and being the butt of jokes, thank you, DF.

RIP.

PS I wonder if his passing is further proof that the end is REALLY close? Maybe God needed somebody to announce the names for the Great White Throne.

He was my double when I starred in the role I am most noted for. :bigthink:

I saw that he had passed this morning on the Today Show. My prayers go with his family.

Jerry Reed died, too. :-( I just loved LaFontaine's voice, and Jerry Reed was always the epitome of the good ole boy. Neither of them very old either...bummer.

The only thing I remember Jerry Reed for is Smokey and the Bandit. Everything else is a lost memory I guess.
