So long, Count DeMonet, (De Money). He made us laugh for decades.
Years ago he and Buddy Hackett portrayed Abbot and Costello in a TV movie.
I found the film informative and very touching.
Though he portrayed comedian Bud Abbot, he did so as a serious biography. I think it was the only serious role I ever saw Harvey portray.

Yeah, #25 Reaper I am absolutely shocked TMZ didn't have one of their cruel comments like usual. Maybe even they can't find anything mean to say about this great man. There's a first for everthing!

He looks like he was a real heavy drinker judging by the nose, flushed face, baggy and glassey eyes. RIP, nevertheless.

Harvey,
I watched you on the Carol Burnett show for years, every Saturday night and didn't miss a week. I still catch the reruns when I can. I saw you and Tim a couple of years back doing your "Together Again" show (which was sold out btw) and I laughed so hard I cried. RIP and you will be greatly missed.

DEATH

Life is something we should appreciate and adore
because there comes a time in life our services are
not needed anymore.

A time in life when we are the next step closer,
and if you have done what He asked, the struggle is over.

A time when one passes from this world to another--
a time when we lose a family member, friend or lover.
This has been happening long before our existence,
but some think it's a joke until they are convinced.

A time in life that we rejoice and have sorrow, so we
must change our wicked ways,
because that time can come tomorrow.

To have one pass away can leave you emotionally scarred,
but you must maintain your composure and keep
your faith in God.

So we must stop the hate and seek forgiveness for our sins,
because whether you know it or not,
death is what we must face in the end.

I will miss you Harvey. You made my childhood a little bit brighter every week for the one hour you were on tv. Your laughter was contagious and I can remember my entire family sitting around the tv laughing hysterically whenever you were in a scene. Just watching you trying to get through your lines without laughing made US laugh! You made the world a better place. Rest in peace.

Oh wow, this is so sad! He was a riot, my husband & I loved Blazing Saddles! What a great guy he was... I used to watch him on the Carol Burnett show also, jeez didn't we all? He will be sorely missed by so many who loved his comedic genius. Well, now he can have them rolling on the floor in a better place! God be with his family & loved ones. We'll certainly miss him!
