He was 89 and had pancreatic cancer. He was no stranger to DC comics productions (which is owned by Warner Bros. since 1973). Not only did he supply the voice of Commissioner Gordon in the Batman animated series, including Gotham Girls, (back in the mid 1960's) he had supplied the voice of Superboy/Clark Kent in the animated series of Superboy during the Superman/Aquaman Hour and the Batman/Superman hour. He had also appeared in an episode of the Batman TV series (starring Adam West). He had also played the role of Superboy in the Superboy/Clark Kent TV series back in the mid 1960's as well. Back in the 1970's, he had appeared in two episodes of the TV series "Wonder Woman" starring Lynda Carter), each a different role. He was also seen in Walt Disney's "Boatniks" (which starred Stefanie Powers from HRA and Vito Scotti who was also from HRA & HGB, and an original Herbie that appeared with no graphics). He had starred in many other TV shows and films over the years. He will be missed.
