Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
I loved the 66 Batman series. It was a glorious thing as a young bort. Any hidden meanings went over my head, besides I was watching for the Pow! Bang! Boff! parts anyway. It was acombination of this and the variios incarnations of the Superfriends that taught me best that doing good was for its own sake and not for any kind of reward. Mr. West was just a part of that. It did my nerd heart good when he appeared in different cartoons. The Crimson Chin in the Fairly Odd Parents, the Mayor of Quohog in Family Guy, but really he shined as Simon Trent, the eponymous serial star in Return of the Gray Ghost, an episode of the Batman Animated Series. And all he had to do was be himself. No funny accent or affectation. His delivery, like Shatner's, was a thing all to itself. I'm not sad, but his voice-presence in nerd things will be missed.

Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
One of Vir Cotto's best lines 
Also voiced Space Ranger Booster Sinclair from Buzz Lightyear of Star Command...
I looked for a "Best of Booster" video montage, but best I could find was this "Behind the Voices" (which is missing Bobcat Goldwaith's character, XR):
RIP Mr. Fuerstein

Joan Lee, wife of Stan, has died at the age of 95. They were married for 69 years; not a bad run.

Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
R.I.P. Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington, of an apparent suicide. I wasn't a huge fan, but never felt they deserved the derision certain sectors of the internet gave them; they were quite good at what they did.
e: As I hear more details, I'm definitely thinking this may have been a copycat suicide. He'd been really close friends with Chris Cornell for about a decade (he was the godfather of Chris' son); today was Chris' birthday, and apparently he hanged himself, as Chris seems to have. Just horrible.
New York Times story.
