NEW YORK (AP) ― Ed Reimers, the actor who told television viewers "you're in good hands with Allstate" for decades, died Sunday in upstate New York, a relative said. He was 96.
Reimers, who also served as an announcer for several TV shows in the 1950s and '60s, died at his daughter's home in Saratoga Springs, said Dean Lindoerfer, his nephew by marriage. The cause of Reimers' death wasn't immediately clear.

Those announcers seem to live long...Don Pardo, Paul Harvey... must be a good job.

I have never had Allstate Insurance but have heard a bunch of people say their service is poor.

RIP. As I remember on a Star Trek gag reel, somebody tossed a tribble at him when he was in his Admiral uniform and without missing a beat, he looked at the camera and said, “You’re in good hands with Tribbles !”

Wow! I was going to switch to All-State from State Farm tomorrow. State Farm is boycotting Glenn Beck, you know! Well I guess it's a sign to definitely switch.

"The cause of Reimers death wasnt immediately clear. He was 96!"I think it's safe to say, "His heart stopped..."
