I've missed him before, but watching my brother play King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow made me REALLY miss Tony Jay and realize just what an awesome voice actor we lost with his great baritone voice, he played a whole four characters in that game and fit each and every one of them.
R.I.P Tony Jay, you were (and still are) the best.

An amazing actor, Tony, you will be remembered as an incredible villain in fiction, but as a good man in life.

Tony Jay's Shere Khan voice is what made me like him he delivered a much more sophisticated suave sounding voice

He was one of the best there was: as voice practisoner myself, i based one of my villain voices on his baritone greatness.
Rest in Peace Tony Jay, and thank you.
You will be missed.

Man, if he was still alive today, he would have great potential for the Sonic the Hedgehog games, like the voice of Pir'Oth Ix in Sonic Chronicles 2 (if Sega ever makes one). Also, he would reprise his role as Frollo in Kingdom Hearts III. Man, it really sucks that he's no longer with us. In fact, I wish I could go back in time to prevent his death from ever happening.

I'll never forget him voicing Anubis, in the Gargoyles series.. his voice was just perfect for the lord of the underworld.. felt so ominous and evil, yet peacefull ..

I miss his deep baritone and his role as Megabyte was one of my favorites. He, John Vernon and John Colicos were three fantastic actors who could play villains.

He was an amazing actor. His death was tragic and still is.

@NCZ I wish that the late Tony Jay should continue living longer and to record some additional lines for the cow with the ring through his nostrils outside of the title song of Thumbelina!
