Dad would listen to them. Not in Boston but NYC so I suppose they were syndicated. I also remember them as the the cartoon voices of Bert and Harry Piels for the Piels beer tv commercials.

I am big Bob and RAy fan, and I’m extremely sorry to hear this.

But somewhere, I know the two of them are amusing people with the Komodo Dragon, the Slow Talkers of America, the Ambiguous Sign Company, all their old radio parodies, and the rest.

In honor of Bob and Ray, the end of one of their old radio parodies:

“’one Fella’s Family’ is produced by T. Wilson Messi. This is a Messi production.”

Oh my goodness, how they made me laugh. They would push a dull topic to even far duller to the point it became so silly.

Perhaps my favorite bit of theirs was.....the....slow.........um...talkers...........of.....America.

Bob and Ray were one (two?) of my all-time comedy favorites and comedic influences. They always made me laugh!

Bob and Ray were in a movie from the early 70's called Cold Turkey about a tobacco company that offers a small Iowa town $30 million if the entire town can stop smoking for a month.

Bob and Ray had recurring roles as newscasters that spoofed Chet Huntley, Walter Cronkite, and others.

It's a rare find, but worth a watch when it comes on.

I remember listening to them on the old Monitor Radio program while traveling on the weekends. They were like friends on a long trip.

This guy was before my time. But, like many of the 50s and early 60s comedians, he was funny as hell. His son is as well.

Rest in Peace and thanks for the laughs.
