John Stephenson RIP

Sad to learn of his passing. :(

I've never really been a fan of anything Hanna-Barbera outside of Gobots, even as a 4y/o I detested those toons... but this gentleman delivered one of my most favourites lines to quote from the G1 Transformers series:

"Ok, Reflector, let's see what you can see" ~ The Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye - Part 1.
(A line fondly remembered by myself & Heroic_Decepticon that we've conversed over a couple of times :))

May John be at peace and be welcomed into the All-Spark of passed Transformers luminaries. :o

My thoughts exactly.

At least the living list is still longer than the past list. it's a bit unnerving to see so many have passed on, like others I don't feel like G1 was 30 years ago.

Hey Griffin on your alive list Leonard Nimoy is there... I was very sad when I heard he died.

I fixed that, as I noticed it before I saw your post.
The list was from another site that hadn't been updated in the last year, so there were three that had died since it was updated (Nimoy, Buster, Stephenson).
