I remember him from his stand-up act doing impersonations on the Merv Griffin show.

Yup, that was bet as to who was next to die.






Actually, I've never heard of the guy. Aren't we stretching it a bit here with "celebrity" deaths?

I didnt know this guys name, but I do reconize him.


There was also a female actress that died yesterday that was more known in the pre 1960's. I don't remember her name as I never heard of her.

I remember Fred Travalena from the late 70's to the early 80's.  Was a funny guy.

He was famous, Rich Little was more so, but still he was well known.

RIP funny man.

I wonder if Troy would consider adding an obituary section to the forums?  

Maybe even split in into to different categories like, "Famous Dead Celebrities" and "Not So Famous Dead Celebrities" and "Plain Old Dead People"

Don't forget we can add a poll to see how many people knew the person who croaked.
