Thank you very much! My parents have known him for a long time for his older shows ("The FBI," for example), but I have always known him first and foremost as Alfred. Batman: The Animated Series came on five days after I turned five, and it has been one of my favorite shows ever since. I had every toy, comic, video I could get as a kid, and I have the DVDs as an adult today. In fact, I have been rewatching the entire series for the last week or so. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to share with him what an impact he'd had on me, even though I felt a little guilty bothering a 95 year old man with my silly memories.
And yet, his kind words made me feel as though I'd done something nice for him as he had for me. I was overjoyed to receive it, and so incredibly stunned to read of his passing. It was very surreal. And once again, I felt guilty for bothering him. But then I told myself that maybe it was nice for him to get another (as I know he got many) letter from a fan. It gave a new meaning to his note. Tears have been shed this evening, and again as I write this. It will always be one of my most meaningful autographs.
Thank you for your post, rukastar. It, too, meant a lot.
