I'm sure he would have no complaints. He led a full, and very, very long life. We should all be so lucky.

I mourn the passing of a great American cultural icon but wow, 97...
He was an old guy when I was a kid 35 years ago.

Art: What does your dad do?
Kid: My dad's in the Navy. When he's away, I sleep with mom every night bud Wednesday. Art: Why not Wednesday? Kid: Then it's Uncle Mike's turn... TV was live back then...

I remember watching him as a kid 50 years ago. His daughter IIRC killed herself by jumping out of a window in a highrise while on LSD. God rest his soul.

My wife was a flight attendant in the 80's, she worked for PSA, then US Air.
She met many celebs in her many years of flying. Art was by far the biggest dick she ever met, he was rude and obnoxious RIP thank God
