Van Ritshie, a longtime voice actor who recorded several announcements for the Long Island Rail Road, died at the age of 80, according to his family. He worked in the radio and voice-over industry for more than 50 years. When the LIRR rolled out its fleet of M7 trains in the early 2000s, Ritshie’s rich baritone voice landed him the gig of recording the LIRR station announcements, the railroad confirmed.
