One of Long Island’s most iconic voices — that unmistakable cadence announcing “ron KON ko ma” to Long Island Rail Road passengers — has passed away.

Van Ritshie, the Long Island Rail Road voice actor who became a cherished and often mimicked presence for commuters, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 3, following a brief illness, his family announced this week. He was 80 years old.
