Damn, I really adored him. Several years ago I had an appointment with him. He was so gracious to me. I was overwhelmed to have spoken with him as he had long been a favorite. I remember my first exposure to his wit came when I was in seventh grade. I would make haste hurrying home from school to catch his jokes on his daytime game show "You Bet Your Life." His humor was so fresh and just a bit naughty. Meeting him was a true highlight in my life.
