one of the last great comedians...
His concert films and films with Gene Wilder are classics in my book....
RIP Richard......

Well....personally, I post things like this quickly because in 1996, George Burns died while I was out of the country and I didn't find out until the end of the year, during those celebrity retrospectives.

It is so freaky how famous people seem to die in 'groups'.
Pryor, Sen. McCarthy, and someone else died yesterday whose name I cannot remember.

MS is such a horrible ordeal for someone to experience. He was such a great comedian. May he rest in peace.
