TV announcer Rod Roddy dead at ~66

People who know me, know that I am into voices. Voice artists, accents, announcers, cartoons.

Rod Roddy, while not the most famous one out there was the “Come on Down” voice for the Price is Right after Johnny Olsen. He was known for incredibly loud jackets.

My knowledge of Roddy actually predates that to the one of the all-time funny shows of television, “Soap”

Will Corrine find out about Jessica and Tom? Will Jessica find out about Corrine and Tom? Will Chester find out? Will Benson find out? Will Benson care?

Confused? You won’t be after next week’s… Soap

Rod, not many of us knew your face. Many of us will miss your voice and the smiles you brought to your words.

Unto them from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen may there be granted the accomplishment of their true Wills; whether they will absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with their chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto them may there be granted the accomplishment of their wills; yea, the accomplishment of their wills.
