CC was a "sweet" man and will be missed...

trivia:

the original voice for Cap'n Crunch was Daws Butler. Butler, a main staple of the Hanna-Barbera circuit, voiced many memorable characters such as:
Yogi Bear, Elroy Jetson, Chilly Willy & Huckleberry Hound. Lesser known characters included: Rufus Ruffcut, Rock Slag, Peter Potamus, Auggie Doggie, and Lippy the Lion.
