Next thing you know, another Disney veteran like Pat Carroll or Dick Van Dyke may be next.

Surprising (and sad) news, indeed.
R.I.P., Eddie. You will always be remembered.

Very sad news. Growing up, he was actually Jiminy Cricket to me more than Cliff Edwards was. I was first exposed to the character via Mickey's Christmas Carol back when I was 2 along with various Disney specials and Sing-Alongs. I didn't actually see Pinocchio until I was about 6. He will be missed.

Those of you who attended D23, if you have any photos from the event of Eddie Carroll, please send me a PM. I'm going to assist jackbenny.org with their tribute as part of the one I'm doing for my blog. So any photos and stories of your meeting w/Eddie would be greatly appreciated.
I also updated my blog article w/ details on the funeral and where to send donations:

Very sorry to hear this news. I adore Jiminy, and grew up with Mickey's Christmas Carol too, along with hearing Eddie's Jiminy everywhere else over the years. I can't help wondering though, how does one get the gig of taking over when we lose these legendary voices, especially since I recently realized I do a pretty good Jiminy myself.
