Very sad indeed. I always figured Meat or Pee Wee would be the first to go.

Why so many unoffensive people like Wyatt from Porky's and the actor from Willy Wonka dying when most people would give anything to be rid of Kim K?

So bummed. I wrote to him and he took the time to write me back and signed my DVD's. I loved the character he played in Porky's as Miss Ballbricker's antagonist Tommy "Turner", hilarious! R.I.P. Wyatt.

Porkeys still the highest-grossing Canadian film of all time. The Arts community just loves that fact!
