No obit just yet.

But no one who has seen the Dr. Who episode "The Sun Makers" (1977) will forget his character.

About that episode:

"The serial is set on Pluto. In the serial, the alien time traveller the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and his travelling companions Leela (Louise Jameson) and K9 (John Leeson) start a revolution among the humans against an alien corporation which has an economic hold over humanity."

Not to mention everything else he did!

Leeson of course voice-acted K9 but was not packed into that
little metal box on screen.

Not to be confused with Henry Bosley Woolf,
the editor-in-chief of Merriam-Webster dictionaries
