Today I heard a shocking news, Adam West is gone after a battle with leukemia at age 88  peacefully. Sadness

West became known to a new generation of TV fans through his recurring voice role as Mayor Adam West on Fox’s “Family Guy.” West was a regular on the show from 2000 through its most recent season. West in recent years did a range of voice-over work, on such shows as Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and Disney Channel’s “Jake and the Neverland Pirates.”

But it was his role as the Caped Crusader in the 1966-68 ABC series “Batman” that defined West’s career.

He is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
