I might have a soft spot for this death because his voice was responsible for one of the "monsters" from one of my favorite shows, but he was also known for many many other things.
David Graham voiced the Daleks on Doctor Who.
If you've watched Doctor Who, then you know what the Daleks are. If you haven't....they are robotic-like beings. Who have no emotions. Blah blah blah. That's probably the simplest way I can describe them without launching into full-on nerd mode.
Anyone who's seen an episode of Doctor Who is familiar with the "exterminate".
He did make it to ninety-nine, so I would say that's a rather full life. Still sad to see someone who gave a voice to such an iconic television character/s passed on.

@porwest Ah. I knew there was a reason we were friends. LOL. It's become more popular in the last few years in the states. But there are;t a whole lot of Who fans in the middle of nowhere Florida. Who was your favorite?

@kaylachan It's a great show. I still prefer the original ones over the newer ones, but there have been a couple of recent Doctors who I think captured the essence of the Doctor quite successfully.

Never heard of him or the show, Even if it is sad I always think at least they left their talent behind to be kept enjoying,

It's a British SyFy show that started in the sixties.

I'm sure they have enough recordings they could use if they wanted to continue to use Grahams voice.
I just saw that 61 years ago today the first episode of Who broadcast.
