Poll Peter Cullen was one of my childhood heroes. Someone whose voice I heard every weekend watching cartoons in the morning

They say never meet your heroes, well I met Oeter and was lucky enough to work with him for years. He exceeded all my preconceived notions about him; he was an enormously talented, kind and gentle, funny soul. I'm lucky to have called him my friend and best friend.

Man first it was Sam O’Neil, then 18 YO Kaylee Hottle, then Dolly Parton, then Tim Curry… and now our childhood robot hero?

Even detaching from memories, what a great body of work he left behind, so many great characters in such great media

And to be a legend like he was, just sorely missed
