What a loss. He was 67 years old and a comedian and actor with an unmistakable voice. His family posted a message on his Twitter announcing his passing after "a long illness". They did not specify what it was. They called him "the most iconic voice in comedy" which I can't disagree with and encouraged everyone to keep laughing despite the sad news. Such sad news this afternoon.

He was brash and in your face, vulgar and at times offensive... But these were all things that made him who he was, and made him funny, and also made him a comedic icon. He will be missed.

That is too bad, I remember seeing him in some comedy movies but had not heard about him in a long time,

I don’t believe I’d heard of him.
