A Little Bit of my Childhood died today...

Some of my already know by now that Peter Sallis, most famous for being the voice of Wallace of Wallace and Gromit fame has died recently at the age of 96. The Wallace and Gromit shorts, along with the movie were some of my favorite pieces of animation and I loved watching all of them. One of the things that made them so enjoyable to watch was Peter Sallis' performance as the nutty inventor Wallace. He really gave the character personality, with his accident-prone, but well-meaning attitude and the way he played off of his long suffering best friend Gromit made him one of the funniest characters in animation. 

Peter will be dearly missed by those whom he put a smile their faces through his performance as Wallace, and another role he was known by. Rest in piece old chap.
