From Tom Sheppard

So sad to hear that Earl Kress passed away. I have many great memories of a man who knew more than just about anyone I’ve ever met about cartoon history. I fondly recall sitting in a room for days (or maybe weeks) writing these lyrics with Earl, Charlie Howell, Wendell Morris and Jed Spingarn like it was yesterday. A bunch of us were baby writers on that show. Earl had done hard time in animation, but he never treated us as anything but equals. A darn good guy. Rest In Peace, Earl.
