The Passing of a Legend.

So this isn't really a part of what I wanted to do for a blog post, but at the same time it came to my attention that something had happened way back in May that went largely unnoticed by the general public, and is a great loss for many of us that have enjoyed a particular cultural icon since the 70's.

I'm not sure how many of you know this, but on May 18th 2009 Wayne Allwine, the man that played the voice for Disney's Mickey Mouse in every video game, T.V Show, commercial, advertisement, and move, passed away. A sad day for the world, folks. Apparently it was due to diabetes-related afflictions, which is something he was struggling with for many years. His final role portraying the voice of Mickey was done for the Fall 2009 release of the latest Kingdom Hearts game, Kingdom Hearts 358 Days/2. The game was dedicated to his memory.

Remember him, everyone. Honor the man that made the modern soul of Mickey Mouse.
