This gentleman had a wonderful, long and very sucessful career in the voiceover business however... he is dead! Like John Wayne and so many other great people who have come and gone he is no longer with us. It's like saying that Michael Jackson is the King of Pop. Well, he WAS the King of Pop and sure, many of us miss him but he too is dead and will never be again. His time came and went. My point is this... why keep featuring a person who is dead and who is no longer with us and who will never be able to make any further contributions to this business. Sure he was admired for his voice and work and should be. But to keep his likeness up and running as though he were alive is kind of like saying that Johnny Carson is still at the helm on the tonight show. Get my point? I respectfully say... it's time to take Mr. Fontaine's likeness off the web and let him rest in peace. There will be others to take his place you can be sure of that.

Sir Congratulations on your achievement. I would also like to say I enjoyed your work your voice is powerful and memorable. I saw a commercial in 2008 I believe that you did and I was like wow thats the guy that we have been hearing all this time. I have to admit I use you as a role model. Again Congratulations Sir.

Don,

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.

Yo dude, what's going on? You don't know me, but I'm hoping you will soon. 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.
