I must say, it is terrible that we lost him. There is no one that has quite a unique voice like that. If he were around today and I had a cartoon on the air, I'd pay top dollar to have him guest. Even one or two lines. That's how amazing his voice is. All i can say is Jim really picked out quite a bunch of people to be in his world. Richard, Jerry, Frank, Fran, Kevin... these people just have unique voices that are perfect for wacky acting like that.

I agree the muppets wouldn't be the same without Richard and his wacky voices like Scooter, Don Music, Placido Flamingo, and of course Big ol' Junior Gorg.

So we all love Richard and miss him completely. It's to bad such a wonderful voice was silenced forever due to such a terrible disease.
