Dammit. He was a good 'un. Father-in-law of Andrew Breitbart, husband of Alley Mills, conservative, legend.

He started out on the left, but he was too nice a guy to stay there long. He was always a delight on panel shows and game shows such as To Tell the Truth, Tattletales, and The Match Game.

How sad and tragic.

I remember him on Merv Griffin. It was on after school. He talked about how great it was to take LSD. How he found a single blade of grass he bonded with.

“He was always a delight on panel shows and game shows”

That’s where I remember him.

Even as a kidlet, I thought he was a kind man.

I was in Venice a couple of weeks ago — can’t walk more than a block without being hit with the heavy smell of dope smoke, even when there’s nobody around.

Old RV’s are parked on the street — all remind me of the decrepit Winnebago meth lab out of Breaking Bad, people living in them to save money.

Even the Whole Foods is infested with vagrants taking up space — there’s a sign that says something like “do not proceed past this point without receipt” for the inside tables.

Along the beach there are multi-million dollar condos just feet from the heavily traveled sidewalk — the residents complain the homeless trespass and try to climb their iron-fenced 2nd floor patios, leaving used syringes in their tiny yards.

One of the most seedy places in California — but a real hipster haven. I guess Mr. Bean lived there long before the beatniks moved in. R.I.P.

Ninety-one is a good run. But struck by a car? I wonder if he was ... confuse or lost. RIP.

A relative owned a 3 million plus townhouse near Venice beach in Marina Del Rey. She passed two years ago and the family sold it. They did want to be invested near Venice Beach.

VB was where the Doors hung out. The Soul Kitchen was nearby and the address and photos are on the internet.

I’m glad he was still able to walk at 91, but it’s sad that he had to go that way.

Always enjoyed his humor, heck of a way to go but sounds like he enjoyed life to the end, Venice beach is special that is a fact, when you gotta go that is good a place as any I suppose. Dang the good old guys and gals are going fast it feels like.
