I just learned via IMDb that Christopher Shea, the beloved Linus of the earliest and best Charlie Brown specials, passed away last year at age 52. Rest in peace, Mr. Shea - I hope you knew how much your work on the Peanuts specials meant to generations of children.

I just learned this week that Chris Shea died last year, I was sad to hear it. A young age...but he definitely brought a lot of talent to his voice role as Linus. He was perfect and possibly the best voice actor of the series.
