Comedian Dom Deluise passed away late Monday night in Los Angeles. He was 75.

Best known for his small but memorable roles in Blazing Saddles, Cannonball Run, and Spaceballs; Mr. Deluise most recently had distinguished himself as an avid chef, and as an accomplished author.

Personally, I will always remember Mr. DeLuise in his much lesser roles. He provided his voice in such furry classics as: An American Tail (as Tiger), All Dogs Go to Heaven (as Itchy Itchiford), and one of my all-time favorites The Secret of NIMH (as Jeremy, the clumsy, love-lorn crow).

Dom DeLuise will be missed.

This makes me want to listen to "Flying Dreams" from The Secret of NIMH. Rest in Peace, Mr. DeLuise.

sadness.. he gave voice to so many favorite characters of mine! rip

"Furry classics"? I liked those movies as well, so does that make me a furry too?

Well, no... I guess it can be said that you're as furry as you feel. I enjoy those movies as well. I read books with talking animals. I download tons of furry art. And, I have more than one anthro character. However, I don't consider myself a furry. I just like a few "furry" things.

Anyway, I used the term, "furry classics" to refer to the talking animals in those films; not as an example of what "A Furry" would like (although they can be one and the same).

I'm sorry for any confusion.

Thanks for clearing it up!

gonna miss that guy especially from all dogs go to heaven *howls mournfully* R.I.P
