While your headline announcing this sad news is in bad taste...I wish to extend my condolences to the family. He was truly gifted.

This outstanding actor, along with Tim Conway, provided many hours of laughter on the Carol Burnette Show. Sometimes I laughted 'til my sides hurt. My favorite was the Tara Scene with Carol as Scarlett and the curtain rods on her shoulders. They don't make 'em like him anymore.
