Bob LeMond (April 11, 1913 - January 6, 2008)

Bob LeMond was a wonderful radio personality. He lent his voice to such timeless classics as "The Red Skelton Show", "Our Miss Brooks", "My Friend Irma" and "Life with Luigi." On television he announced for programs like "Leave it to Beaver" and "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." Starting in 1948 he became the annoucner for Lucille Ball's radio sitcom "My Favorite Husband." At the close of each program Lucy could be heard saying "Bob LeMond!" To which he would reply "Yes Lucille" and then the two of them would act out the sketch for a Jell-O commerical (Jell-O was the sponsor at the time). He remained with the program until it ended in March of 1951. He also narrated the original pilot for the "I Love Lucy" show. An unsung hero during the golden age of radio and television, he will be fondly remembered.
