Joe Alaskey, the US voice artist who provided vocals for such Looney Tunes characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Sylvester the Cat, has died at 63. Alaskey, who inherited the roles after the 1989 death of voice artist pioneer Mel Blanc, reportedly had cancer. He was also heard as President Richard Nixon in Forrest Gump and Grandpa Lou Pickles in the Rugrats films.

How sad. :\'( :\'(
He also voiced Plucky Duck on the early 90s animated series Tiny Toon Adventures. Man, that takes me back.
On screen, he played the part of Uncle Beano on the late 80s/early 90s sitcom Out Of This World, and also served as the announcer for the short-lived 1989 game show Couch Potatoes.
This guy will be missed, that's for sure.
