Jay Scheimer is dead - message from Andy Mangels

[Prime Good]

Jay Scheimer played many voices in Filmation cartoons, including at times Fat Albert's mother and Queen Marlena in He-Man. Additionally, she was Lou's wife for 56 years. The two met while Lou was at Carnegie Tech, and he told her on the first night they met that he was going to marry her. Three-and-a-half years later, they were married on December 20, 1953. They moved to California in 1955, and Lou started working in animation shortly thereafter. Jay has been by his side ever since, until today.

Dear Friends and Loved Ones:

For those of you who may not yet know, Jay Scheimer passed away late last night at Tarzana Medical Center. Please forgive the email notice, but this proves to be the most expedient method of letting you all know.

The Scheimer family respectfully asks that in lieu of flowers etc that any donations in honor of Jay be made to the National Parkinson Foundation. For your convenience, here is a link to their web site page.

Deep thanks to all for your many calls and concern.

On behalf of Lou and Erika, and with much love,

Wondering this: where are all the Go-ers of this board?
It looks so empty.

[tooncapone]

I don't know.

The board has really been empty this week.

Real life and all that. Sorry for not posting in a while, but I've been very busy.

Sorry to hear that Jay Scheimer died, but, looking on the bright side, at least she and Lou had nearly 60 years together, and in the end, I think that's worth remembering far more.
