He was certainly getting on in years, but he never lost his love for the art.
What I find discouraging, though, is that none of the major news sites have picked up on this yet. They'll run retrospectives on obscure B/W film starlets of the 20s, but so far no mention yet of the passing of this last icon of Warner Brothers' golden age. We'd already lost Friz Freleng and Mel Blanc and Tex Avery; Chuck was the last pin to fall, and so now we can close the book on that whole chapter. It passes from living memory into the annals of legend.
Too bad "Thomas Timberwolf" sucks so much, though.
