From Cartoon Brew...

"Dal was a prolific voice in animation, and you’ve heard him as the voice of Gumby, Archie, Buzz Buzzard, Ben Franklin at Epcot, the fox in Mary Poppins, and in numerous Sam Singer cartoons. He was an actor in many live action movies for Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, George Pal, and Anthony Mann, but was probably best known to people the real world as a regular on the TV series Daniel Boone, playing Cinncinatus the storekeeper.

I did not realize that he was the voice for the Thunder Mountain Railroad "warning."

I wonder if Disney might find a place for him, his name is a store front, possibly something in the Annimation Attraction, like Leota, but maybe more private.

I just watched "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" this weekend. It's still sad :(

It would be awesome if they would...or a "hidden" memorial of some sort...maybe on BTM somewhere
