Hi. I just recently learned of Willard Scott's passing:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_Scott
From
https://tvline.com/2021/09/04/willard-scott-dies-today-show-weatherman-dead-obituary/ :
Willard Scott, a veteran weatherman who spent 65
years at NBC and 35 as a
Today show regular, has
passed away. He was 87.
He was very popular and famous; he was popular and famous when I was a youngster. I remember seeing him on TV. I used to compare him to Al Roker, another popular and famous weatherman.
Scott created Ronald McDonald and portrayed the character in ad campaigns for McDonald's in the 1960's. I knew he portrayed the character, I didn't knew he created him.
I hope Mr. Scott was Saved before he passed.
