I’m very sad to report that James Street, a voice actor for STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE series since 2004, died on July 4, 2007. His death was caused by injuries he obtained in a skateboarding accident. He was 13 years old.

James was also the voice of Pepito in MADELINE. He was born in London, England, but moved to California at eight months old.

The “James David Street Memorial Fund” has been set up and donations can be sent to California Oaks State Bank, P.O. Box 5038, Thousand Oaks, California 91359-9873.

Service will be held at 11:00 am Friday, July 13, at the Chapel of the Hills Conejo Mountain Funeral Home.

It’s very sad to hear that a member of the animation industry has left us. It’s even sadder because he was just a child. May he rest in peace.
