Man they say that they come in three's but we have lost a lot of great talent in the last month or so.

Rest in Peace Mr. Melendez

I hadn't known who did Snoopy's voice. He must have had a blast over the years ; one of my favorite scenes ever is where Snoopy runs the gamut of emotions with Schroeder's piano playing in "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

Wow.

I also didn't know he voiced Snoopy.

Rest in peace, Bill.

372 Peanut commercials?!?!

And he did a Garfield special, never knew that.

Pick up a copy of the making of A Charlie Brown Christmas. A number of insurmountable odds against it were beaten, in very large part to Bill Melendez.
