Sad to see. Another one of the old timers "heads West"...

He was at his best in Airplane and it will be one of the classics for humor for long to come.

Funny funny guy. I always attribute this to him but I apologize if I am wrong.

"Ever seen a grown man naked?"

Makes me laugh every time.

Thanks for the laughs!

Funny guy like John Candy was (maybe somethigh in the air up-here).

The funny part is that during the airplanes spoof series, his older brother was the Defense minister...

R.I.P. Captain Ovuer: My Fav. part of Airplane II - Sequel

Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?
Witness: Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: *Andy* went to pieces?
Witness: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: *Howie* came unglued?
Witness: Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Witness: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: Then Howie survived?
Witness: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
