Fred Foy, R.I.P.

One of the great announcers of all time, Fred Foy, has left us at the age of 89. Foy was best known as the announcer of the Lone Ranger radio program and TV show. He was not the first man to narrate the radio show but he did it forever and his is the voice that its fans remember. Many years later, he was the announcer for The Dick Cavett Show when it was on ABC.

That does not begin to describe the length and breadth of this man's career…the thousands of commercials, promos, trailers, other radio shows and movies on which his voice was heard. Here's a link to an obit which will give you a little better idea, though even it falls short.
