I loved "Laugh In!" and his narration of WOM...I'll never forget that voice

WoM was one of my favorite EPCOT Center attractions. His voiceovers were great!

I never really knew he was the one who narrated it. Great voice which came along with a great view.

I'm not old enough to have heard his narration live, but I can tell through the magic of YouTube that it would've been Fun to be Free while listening to an amazing narration. RIP

I was just listening to a recording of the ride the other day. His narration was a big part of why I loved it so much, maybe as much as anything in the original EPCOT Center.

I also didn't have a clue that it was his voice in the narration. I loved riding WOM, and the narration was a very important part of the overall experience. May he RIP.
