Elwood Edwards died Tuesday, one day before his 75th birthday.

Elwood was a staple at the Ohio station for years, working as a graphics whiz and camera operator, among other roles. But, it was back in 1989 when he struck gold, earning worldwide fame — and a spot in internet history — as the voice of America Online's "You've Got Mail" message.

He was asked to record just 4 simple lines — "Welcome," "You've Got Mail," "Files Done," and "Goodbye"

He was paid $200.

RIP Elwood
