Death?

[edit]

Is this true? I see no reference to his death elsewhere on the internet. Also, I see that the earliest reference to his death in this article is from December 8th of this year. Kostaki mou (talk) 16:34, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not it isn’t. If you look on Twitter there are photos of him from his 105th birthday. An unregistered editor keeps vandalising the page because he/she has no life. Somebody needs to block the IP. --Jkaharper (talk) 17:27, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Today I was informed by Don's son Skip Lusk that Don Lusk passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning December 30, 2018 aged 105. I met Don Lusk and his family in the early 1960's when they lived across the street from my sister-in-laws family in Woodland Hills, CA. I was a teenager then and I recall watching Don draw cells at his home office. At that time he was an animator for Hanna-Barbera. Don was a gentleman, family man and a very funny person to know. He leaves a professional and personal legacy that few achieve. Don will be missed. update by Alan Schantz <Skip Lusk, son of Don Lusk> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alan Schantz (talkcontribs) 00:31, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: I'm seeing some lesser sources starting to discuss this. This and this popped up in the last 24 hours, but they're blogs, so, unsuitable as sources. Spiel Times appears to be a 3-year-old blog run by a teenager. Anyway, since it may be likely, we should keep eyes open. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Hollywood Reporter picked it up, so it can be assumed to be legit. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:58, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
