Welp looks like Tony needs another new voice. Lee Marshall, who replaced Thurl Ravenscroft, has died from throat cancer at the age of 65. Spooky part is he died almost 9 years to the day that Thurl died.

This is old news and most wrestling fans were talking about this weeks ago because he was a colour commentator for WCW, weird how people are just picking up on this now

I never knew Lee Marshall died, but I remember him as a color commentator. Sucks to hear that. I never knew he replaced Thurl though.

Interesting fact: Thurl also voiced one of the ghosts in The Haunted Mansion attraction at Walt Disney World and sings the song "Grim Grinning Ghosts."

I can top that with a trifecta!

September 11 is the spookiest day.

2001; Twin Towers collapse
2003; John Ritter died
2005 Chris Schenkel (Pro Bowlers Tour/ABC Sportscaster) died

All in a four year time frame.
