Died today at age 78 from cancer. Used to watch him all the time. In his prime, he was one of the funniest comedians. R.I.P.

Wow, I didn't hear about it, I can't believe he was 78! The comedian right? I really liked him.

I really liked him, too. His wit was dry, urban, a little edgy, but never uncomfortable. I liked his humor even as a child.

Patty Duke Died

She was an amazing person. I remember being enthralled with her performance in The Miracle Worker (film) and then enjoying the Patty Duke Show. Actually, I thought the show was stupid but she was just so much fun to watch in it! I saw her in many things over the years and was always impressed by her performances. She struggled terribly with her mental illness, rising to the top successfully.

I am sad to hear of his passing. He was such a gentle, helpful person, with a good spirit and I don't think that he had a mean bone in his body. I enjoyed his posts and a visit with him and Cindy, over ten years ago. If you read this, Cindy, I offer my deep condolences. (((((Cindy))))) Would some of you who do Facebook please tell her of the messages of good will and sorrow that have appeared here. People asked for a picture ... and there was a camera right there in the room, but we didn't think to take one! I don't think that my pic had been on the KT earlier. ole joyful

Oh no. He was so very funny. Whenever I knew he was going to be on a show I always watched him.

Another South Philly star gone.

Almost every neighborhood had a singer or comedian who made it big.

South Philly gave the entertainment industry soooo many singers and comedians for years.

He was one of the best.

I can remember watching him on Carson when I was a little kid (got to stay up and watch it once in a while on a Friday night!) - gosh. He was almost 80!

Wow; haven't heard that name in a long time. Had no clue he was "that old". RIP

He was great. So funny. A South Philly guy and a Temple U grad.

I just found out one of my Facebook friends dated him, so many years ago. Great stories and she confirms that he was a real gentleman.
