This was favorite series to watch. Sad to hear of his death.
I love this series. First with the children, then with my grandchildren I watched almost all the series. Rest in peace.
Great , you have enjoyed all the age of life
I remembered watching Tom and Jerry, but, did not know who created it. I am very sorry he passed away. If he was Jewish then I would say a saying we saying when a Jewish person dies: Baruch Dayan HaEmet. This is how to explain about Baruch Dayan HaEmet: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1582773/jewish/The-Jewish-Blessing-on-Death.htm
that is so sad, tom and jerry were frequent visitors to our house back when Saturday morning was the only cartoon time.
I used to watch cartoon movies regularly but now I do not just watch movies – no time
