RIP Don. He truly had an unmistakable voice.

There's another thread, but man, what a voice.

Sad to see him go, though.

And we were just joking with impressions of his voice, this past weekend at the theater.

What an amusing way for someone to gain fame.

Yeah, and I just yesterday found this hilarious "In a world..." ringtone, I guess done as a LaFontaine tribute by a guy named Beau Weaver.

Truly the end of an era.
RIP

Damn. He'll be missed. I'll admit the Geico commercial was about the only time I saw him.

He had an awesome voice (somehow, imagining one guy making a career constantly reading promos is kind of surreal).

Someone posted this in one of the other threads. Don and his colleagues doing the intro of an awards dinner. Funny... especially the Disney guy.

Real shame. Truly a guy you can't replace.
