off to the great ratcatcher in the skies he goes. hopefully his death was less gory & painful than the Lieutenant's...
 
Rest in peace.
The Transcendent One and Lou were awesome. Thanks for giving me some great gaming moments.
 
He was kinda wasted on the undead knight in Icewind Dale.

I've used his voice in music!
 
Legacy of Kain - I considered his VO work to be the best ever from this series. He WAS the deep, dark voice of the Elder Gods. He was also considered to be one of the best narrators ever (including one good Teen Titans episode), though not even he could save F:POS.

Truly a sad day in gaming.
 
I will never forget his work in Legacy of Kain. (I might add this is my second fav game of all time right under fallout)
 
I cant forget that voice...so well done.

I thank him for his labor unfortunately too late that I learned his name.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
