It well and truly sucks, and I feel terrible for his family and friends.
I've been watching him ever since "Mork and Mindy" when I was a kid, and as I grew older, though our politics were pretty far apart, he never failed to make me laugh, even when he was poking political jabs, because he helped me see the humor in life. The fact that he didn't have anyone to help him find the bright spots in life at the end is a cruel irony.
Oh, and my wife and I were really bummed that "Crazy Ones" wasn't renewed, because the cast and writers were on fire for that show.
Got to break out some "Good Morning, Vietnam" this weekend.
