His performances were clean comedy that could be enjoyed by the entire family. I loved him in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". Simply hilarious. RIP JW

If you enjoy his style of 'clean' comedy, check out John Pinette sometime - one of the funniest guys I've ever seen.

I worked in the local Vons Grocery store where he lived in Montecito, that is a very upscale town right next to Santa Barbara. I didn't live there, only worked there. He was a great guy, always took the time to talk to everybody and gave them all the time they wanted. Will be missed for sure.
