Oh, man! One of the greats!

Sad, for sure, but I'm sure he'd have a heck of a sarcastic line about it!

Al, thanks for the chuckles. RIP, my friend.

My sympathy to his family, but he was not very funny.

A funny man who didn't have to use four letter words to be funny.

One his best lines..."Anyone who owns their own home, deserves it!"

Another empty seat at the Friars Club.

RIP to another personality of my youth.

They are dropping like flies. Scary. When will all these deaths end?

" I miss the old guys."

He and Buddy Hackett were two of my favorites.

I saw him at a theater-in-the round in Baltimore about 30 years ago. His chauffeur driven Silver Cloud Rolls Royce was parked next to the theater. He had come down from New York for the show.

I realized then how successful materially these major comics can be.

He was very funny that evening

Sharp as a tack, but alway's seemed bitter about something to me. A comedian who seemed to me as though he was completely unapproachable. How that managed to work in comedy I'll never know?

But then again, how Emo Phillips and Judy Tennudeau(sp?) got to work as comedians I'll never figure out either.
