Him and Bob Newhart. Two of the best. RIP Mr. Winters. I wonder if he’s performing his Maude Frickert character in Heaven. I know my sister’s up there welcoming him. He was one of her favorites.

I remember, among other things, his classic portrayal of a white-suited Sanitation Engineer in the Hefty Bag commercials. Gar-BAHGE...

My first introduction to Jonathan Winters was when he was on an episode of Scooby Doo.
RIP.

Absolutely one of my favorite comics, ever. He struggled with some serious depression demons in his life.

Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
