Joseph Barbera
Barbera died at the age of 95 of natural causes at his home in Studio City, Los Angeles on December 18, 2006, ending a seventy-year career in animation.[2] His wife Sheila was at his side when he died,[2] and three children by a previous marriage also survived him: Jayne (who worked for Hanna-Barbera), Neal and Lynn. Cartoon Network put up a bumper in late December 2006 that showed Barbera in a black marker portrait. In the next scene, the words "We'll miss you" were written above the Cartoon Network logo. Adult Swim had a banner that said Joseph Barbera [1911-2006] with the banner fading out without showing the [adult swim] logo at the end, something they only do when a person they consider important passes away and something they'd only done twice before; for Harry Goz in 2003 and Sam Loeb in 2005
