Paul Herlinger, voice of John Avery Whittaker (1996-2008), passes away. Unlike Hal Smith, Paul resigned from his role due to health reasons.

 
"Paul's voice gave him special distinction. He was called upon to narrate regional and national documentaries, had numerous commercial clients, appeared in radio dramas, and for more than 10 years, until recently, played the leading role of John Avery Whittaker in the radio drama series "Adventures in Odyssey", earning him fans worldwide."
