Very Sad. I saw a few interviews with him before and he had great spirits.

Another good one (interview with Good Morning America).

In a world with Don Lafontaine... who will do movie trailer voiceovers?
He will be missed, if only for the familiar clichéd intro lines we've heard countless time sitting in the dark waiting for the main feature to begin.

He's got one of my favorite on-screen voices.
I'll miss him, in that respect.

He was spectacular at his craft. Here's a good site to experience the work of some others.

Ahh, so that is who he is. Great voice and I'll bet that was a good job to have.

A truly unique talent. Not an actor in the sense of a Mel Blanc, or Daws Butler, but certainly the single best known announcer-voice since Paul Frees.

Check out comedian Pablo Francisco riffing for about 4 mins on Don's voice...
