I am old enough to remember that Berle was so big on early television that the country closed down on Tuesday night at eight when he came on. We all were home watching Berle.

A very funny man whose comedy sketches are far better than the crap currently being shown on the Comedy Channel and other venues.

I once saw him in person as the star of Neil Simon's "The Last Of The Red Hot Lovers" at a local theatre. He must have been in his early 60's. After the regular show he came back and did a 20 minute encore of one of his old vaudeville routines. It was the funniest 20 minutes of my life, I was laughing so hard I was hurting.

Milton Berle-- RIP funny man

Milton Berle was indeed one of a kind. He will be sorely missed.
