Was wondering where you heard of his death from?


The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one

Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps
They're loaded with vim and with vigor
They love to leap in your laps

Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one.

Tiggers are wonderful fellahs.

Oh, no!

I'll always remember him as the voice of Zummi, my favorite Gummi Bear. I always preferred Paul's Zummi over Jim Cummings, even if Jim did finish out the series.

That's four cast members from that show that have departed, now.

The purple one, the wizard of the group. Paul Winchell voiced Zummi for the first five seasons, and then Jim Cummings took over as Zummi for the last season.

I'm gonna miss Paul Winchell. -_-;; He's voiced all sorts of characters from many studios.

Disney: Tigger, Chinese Cat from the Aristocats, Boomer from Fox and the Hound, Zummi Gummi.

Hanna-Barbera: Dick Dastardly, Goober, Woofer from Clue Club, Moe from Robotic Stooges, Gargamel from Smurfs.

DFE: Sam-I-Am and The Egg and Ham Hater from Dr. Seuss on the Loose.

Paul was also a ventriloquist and had a show called Paul Winchell, Jerry Mahoney Show.

Paul also has a daughter named April who's a voice artist as well.

Yes, Paul was a talented man and had an unforgetable voice and a laugh too. "Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo HOO!" I used to like to immitate that laugh.

Goodbye, Paul. :cry:
