Jake Schaefer, current music editor of the animated series, used his social networks to fire his colleague with some beautiful words.
Chris Ledesma’s passion for music and for ‘The Simpsons’ was an inspiration. I am grateful for the time I spent with him this year. He was a great mentor and a genuine person. My heart goes out to his family. He rests in peace.
