Dick Tufeld has passed away, at the age of 69, due to congestive heart failure. May he rest in peace. He was possibly most famous for being the voice of the robot who frequently said “Danger, Will Robinson!” on Lost In Space. According to IMDB, he was also the opening announcer for Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends, as well as The Time Tunnel and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea. I watched the last two on The Sci-Fi Channel, in its early days.
