A great loss. He meant so much to me as a child. You just wanted to go to a party and sit on a wee ottoman tucked in a corner and listen to a conversation between Charles Nelson Reilly and Agnes Moorehead. To quote CNR, I hold up a small placard, upon which I have hand-written this: "Meh" ... Thanks CNR. Thanks for all of it, you darling.

It's a good thing you can still see him 24 hours a day on GSN's endless Match Game reruns. I had no idea there were so many variations of psychedlic paisley ties. RIP, indeed.
