There’s a guy I would have thought dead years ago, glad he lived a long life, always like Mr. Ed.

Ironically, those are the same “kids” who have been fighting over their father’s estate for several years, well before his final illness. Mr. Young had a long and successful career dating back to radio and film during Hollywood’s Golden Era. He deserved better.

Liked him best as Filby in The Time Machine". He performed well relative to fellow veteran character actors Sebastian Cabot and Whit Bissell

Aw, gee. I was hoping he might make it to 100. Never really cared much for “Mister Ed,” but I liked Young. Had a nice chat with him and his daughter one time at a Masquers Club event in Hollywood. I remember asking him about his 1940s radio-series, and some of the Armed Forces Radio Services discs of it that had survived. Seemed to be a pretty nice, affable guy.

In the first episodes of Mister Ed, producers "made the horse talk" by pulling clear wires attached to his lips. Before long, though, Ed figured out to move his lips and pretend to talk on a queue so he didn't need to wear those painful wires.

Obviously, he didn't supply the voice. He just needed to flap his lips when his trainer off-camera motioned him to do so.
