Tigger and Piglet Are Dead

Usually obituary-related items end up over here at /obits/, (can’t say GoogObits anymore), but this one is pretty odd and needs to be here filed under "Um".

I’ve long been fascinated by the concept of who dies on the same day. Today we have a doozy. The obituaries of Paul Winchell, 82, TV Host and Film Voice of Pooh’s Tigger, and John Fiedler, 80, Stage Actor and Film Voice of Pooh’s Piglet appeared in the NYT in the same day.

Winchell was also Gargamel. Fiedler was from Plattevile, summer home of The Bears. Bless them.
