Well, at least his Pixar character, Carl Fredricksen is with Ellie once again. I’m so proud of Russell for making his last remaining years so meaningful. He is such a good little boy and Carl’s voice actor, Ed Asner, was the most kind-hearted man everyone has ever known.

He enabled himself to be in a position to do what he loved doing--for a long time.Kudos for that alone.

[@steveconn]

He was in dink Las Cruces, NM for a fundraiser about ten years ago. Wish I'd gone to see him. RIP

Ed’s been 82 for 50 years

[@Jmarshall-kj4hc]

Right? So he was only 40 in 1970 when the Mary Tyler Moore show started?! Crazy

[@vjr5261]

I didn’t realize he was in Dead to Me. I just started watching. It has a different feel seeing him. He was great. And Up. Ohmagosh

Keep it high and tight Ed, RIP.

That show Mary Tyler Moore. Everyone could make you laugh. It was one of the shows I watched.

[@tjwash5118]

It was expertly written and acted and they laughed at each others jokes like people would in their own lives unlike most shows

Ed Asner is one of the few actors to have won an Emmy for portraying the same character in two different television series. Robert Guilliaume and Kelsey Grammar are the others.

[@nam3929]

I think the reference is to the type...he won one for Comedy...the other for Drama!

[@Kangaroo_Poison]

We’ll forever remember him as the voice of Granny Goodness in Superman: The Animated Series.

[@clausonfilms]

And Roland Daggett in Batman The Animated Series

I guess Betty White is the sole survivor. How many TV shows have 2 cast members still alive 51 years after its first episode? And they weren’t 20 somethings at the time like most shows today.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

You are right. Ed made that comment,"Just you and me Betty." when Gav7in MacLeod died.

1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. James 4:4 New Living Translation 4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God." Mark 8:36 New Living Translation 36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
