From CNN:

"Peter Boyle, the tall, prematurely bald actor who was the tap-dancing monster in "Young Frankenstein" and the curmudgeonly father in the long-running sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond," has died. He was 71.

Boyle died Tuesday evening at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He had been suffering from multiple myeloma and heart disease, said his publicist, Jennifer Plante."

I don't know that I've ever laughed as hard as I did during 'Putting on the Ritz'. Gonna miss him.

Truly sad. His Everybody Loves Raymond character of Frank was my favorite with 1A being Robert.

I raise my glass to Peter Boyle.

Kind man, curmudgeon, great actor, gentleman, wild guy, and deeply human -- I have admired him for many years.
