    Growing up, he and Red Skelton were my two favorite comedians. Both of these gentlemen had a long and distinguished career and never uttered a single vulgarity on stage.

    Now, both are on the other side and the world of comedy --- old style, has lost another icon.

    RIP.

    97 is a long life, and he made the most of it, too.

    If you have to watched the video, at least check out the kid at ~1:40 who wants to be a pilot.
