Wasnt a huge fan but as a kid found him amusing, you dont get many impressionsists like him on tv anymore.

    Will they also have to bury the dummy ? Because techinically he is dead as well !
    Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

    79 is a decent age...

    but I'll always remember how Rod Hull died.. that WAS bizarre.

    "Old age had also made it increasingly difficult for him to control his puppet"

    oo-er.

    I remember him best when he hosted a cartoon show, I think it might've been the same one that Rolf Harris went on to host, and basically did some links between the cartoons - defo remember some links with jokes/references about Chilly Willy the penguin.

    You'd probably have to be at least in your 30's to know of him.

    I remember seeing him on TV and thinking, "Wow, you really can't see any sign that it's Ray doing the talking!". He truly was in my opinion the best ventriloquist in the world.
