Unbelievably, John Fiedler, the voice of Piglet, has died within hours of the death of Paul Winchell, the voice of Tigger. John died Saturday. These coming just weeks after the voice of Gopher, Howard Morris, passed away. What a sad time in the Hundred Acre Wood.
I wasn't sure who he was to visualise and when Tom mentioned him being in Girl Happy and then seeing that photo above I recognised him straight away even though there's a few years between both.
Not a good time lately, too many people are leaving us.
I almost forgot one of his best roles as Mr. Peterson on the original Bob Newhart show. He was great. It's sad sometimes we don't really appreciate these character stars until they are gone.
He also had a great sinister role as a murderer in an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I should know the episode title but can't think of it right now.
He seemed to be in everything in the 60's and 70's.

Thanks Colin for posting the pic. I too know the face and voice quite well. In the Alfred Hitchock Hour I remember "I Saw The Whole Thing" VERY ENTERTAINING.
