Paul Winchell

Died yesterday aged 82 - in case you didn't know who he was, he was the voice behind Tigger in the Disney movies of Winnie the Pooh. Also interestingly according to the paper he was Dick Dastardly from the Wacky Races and ( now I'm showing my age) Fleegle from the Banana Splits - remember them? Shocked

He over came polio and speech impediments to become a succesful ventriloquist, before working for Disney and Hanna Barbera. More details from the bbc site

I'm very sorry to say that I did not recognise either of the gentlemen's names but am saddened by their loss.

I loved to watch the adventures of Dick Dastardly and Mutley and Winnie the Pooh was a great Disney film.

They brought a lot of happiness to a lot of children (young and old Wink )
