Well, this is a bit of a shock. I guess you tend to not notice the passage of years, especially when the fandom rolls on, and as a result you don't expect these people who graced your screen each week to have faded at all, but to remain as bright as the show itself. Such a shame. LabRat

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Clark: There's no such word as chumpy.
Lois: Sure there is. Someone's a chump, therefore he's chumpy!"
Clark: Try again.
Lois: Are you challenging me?
Clark: You bet your sweet little chumpy I am!

I'm so sad. We'll miss him so much.  Lane Smith was the better Perry ever and to me, he'll be always The Perry White.

The Merriweather Committee wishes to express its deep sadness at the death of Lane Smith, who passed away June 13.
In “Tempus, Anyone?” Perry tells Jimmy, that he’s “just an old Memphis word-stringer.” He was that and more. As an actor, his body of work stands as a witness to his ability to string words together and make them seem natural. His talent transformed him into the role he played and he became that character. Whether playing an affable but razor-sharp district attorney in “My Cousin Vinnie,” a double-dealing, scene-stealing congressman in “The Distinguished Gentleman,” or a win-at-all-costs coach in “The Mighty Ducks,” (to name just a few movies), Lane brought a freshness and uniqueness to every role.
Lane’s interpretation of Perry White transformed the role from a one-dimensional sideline player to a vital and pivotal character in the Lois/Clark/Superman story. His pairing of the jaded professional with the enthusiastic newbie set in motion the love story that would transpire over the next four seasons. His presence as Perry White, complete with Elvis anecdotes, would be the one steady constant the lives of all the characters at the Daily Planet. No one will be able to top his performance as Perry. He will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
Godspeed, Lane. You will ever be in our hearts.
