An interesting commentator of American life and comedy died- may his passage be good.

some of us older members will miss him a lot

Indeed. He was always one of my favorite comedians.

He was mine as well. Funny funny man:

"Why do they lock the bathrooms at the gas stations? Are they afraid someone will try to come in and clean them?"

And, his very best: The Seven Dirty Words you can't say on Television.

May he rest in peace.

There are few comedians who have been as good for as long as he has. He was a true genious and will be missed for the joy and laughter he spread.

Tho i didnt like his stuff over the last few years (too political for me) i was sad to hear he passed.

He was an excellent comedian and a great source for pithy comments on the human condition and societal idiosyncracies. He really put the pin in a lot of what was both good and bad in society. His pasing is a true loss for all of society.
