We miss you so much!!

Please excuse my tardiness in introducing myself. I'm just now taking off the VO water wings.

There is a certain comfort and pride in now calling myself a colleague of yours. This is both humbling and inspiring. I will hold the torch you pass to me with both hands.

The beauty of the business is that the work of the pioneers is forever captured for those that follow. Your legacy is waist-deep in all corners of the world.

I wish you peace.

Since you've been gone, the quality of voice over has, for the lack of a better term, sucked. Yes, we still have Hal Douglas, but let's face it: we need a guy who has a lot of conviction. Any chance you can get yourself out of the ground (or put your ashes back together) so you can get back to work?

If you can't, that's sad, because you're one of the voice actors I wanted to meet. All I ever wanted was to shake your hand. It sucks that I'll never get that chance.

Thanks, and hope that Nita and the girls are doing okay, I still cry hard for my pops who passed in 2005. When it gets tough, just breathe. Best, Jessie Gilman
