29 years ago a super tall guy who bore an uncanny resemblance to the scientist drawn on the audition page walked into the Hanna-Barbera recording booth and blew me away with his booming warm, friendly voice. Not only was he one of the smoothest narrators I'd ever heard, but he was also incredibly funny. When I asked if he knew the Blue Meanies he proceeded to freak out everyone in the room and I knew then that Tom Kane was unique talent I was excited to collaborate with. A collaboration that continued for 12 seasons of cartoons which included his intimidating performance as the staunch, gentleman rabbit, Mr. Herriman. I grew up without a dad, so it was important to me that the girls had the best one I could give them and that was Tom. I always saw the girls as Body, Mind, and Spirit, but it was Professor who was the Heart of the family, a role that Tom played in the booth and in real life. His home was filled with a big family of kids and a menagerie of animals. He was without exaggeration one of the most generous and loving people I have ever met. I am eternally grateful to be able to have had his voice and heart speak for my characters and through them his spirt endures. Thank you Tom! RIP
