RIP Jonathan Winters
« on: April 12, 2013, 05:22:53 PM »

Nobody ever made me laugh as hard as you could.
You never knew what he was going to say or do, but you knew it was going to be funny. :angel:

A true legend of Comedy.  I remember his show well and the influence he had on Robin Williams.

The world will smile a bit less.

I love the part about him complaining about having to ride a girl's bicycle.

His interaction with Phil Silvers was epic.

so many epic moments
..tears of laughter as he escalated the moment,
never giving a moment to catch your breath.

I will miss him.
