Fred Foy

Many knew his voice, if not his image. For Fred Foy, who died Dec. 22 at 89, delivered the memorable introduction to The Lone Ranger. For years it was he who famously said, "A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty 'Hi-Yo, Silver!' ... the Lone Ranger!" Foy became the show's announcer and narrator in 1948, first for the radio program and later for the television series as well. He also worked on The Green Hornet and The Dick Cavett Show and was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2000.
