The male voice on This Ole House was Thurl Ravenscroft, who became the voice of Tony the Tiger, the cartoon character who promoted Kellogg's breakfast cereals on TV. He wound up living in the same retirement facility in Fullerton where my mother lived. He carried around a keychain that featured a little tiger. He finally met the saints a few years before my mother did.
I hope whoever bought his old house fixed the shingles, the window pane and the floor. I wouldn’t worry so much about the squeaky hinges.
I would not have connected his voice with Tony the Tiger. Whomever they got for a successor has done well.
“Thurl Ravenscroft”
I believe he also sang”you’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.”
