Mr. Kokoshka, lost Arnold's stereo betting on a pair of two's.

"Don't worry, Arnold, I can't lose. *wink*"

Sad to know the guy behind the voice is gone.

That was my favorite episode of the show. It is a shame he died so young.

[Xenomoose]

I'm still upset that the grand finale movie never got made. I guess my hopes for it ever getting made are permanently crushed...

[HawkeyeTy]

Wow, Hey Arnold, The Simpsons, Duckman, Rugrats, Recess ... This guy wrote episodes for near half my favourite shows growing up. Real shame for such a creative talent to go, especially so young.
