Mann, who is best known to animation fans as the voice of Yukon Cornelius in the animated Christmas special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964), has died at the age of 91. According to his son, Richard Mann, the actor died of age-related causes on Monday in Los Angeles.

| Awww I'm so sorry to hear that. Yukon Cornelius was actually one of my favorite characters in 'Rudolph.' | |

| All I can think of is Rudolph's sad voice when they think Yukon has died..."Yukon!!" Larry certainly had a 'recognizable' voice. May he rest in peace. “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
