Funny how someone can touch your life and you don’t even know his name until he’s gone.
Although many of you knew his name and just paid more attention than I did.
Alan Young died at the age of 96. He was the voice of Wilbur on Mr. Ed (old 1960’s show about a talking horse, would always go “Oh Wilbur”)
Before my time but everyone’s seen it in reruns.
What I found interesting was that he was the voice of Scrooge McDuck on Ducktales. I loved that show as a kid.
“Work smarter, not harder.” Sigh. That greedy Scottish duck taught me so much about life.
I never knew the guy who played Wilbur was also the voice of Uncle Scrooge.
He will be missed.
