He will be missed.
More young comedians than people would like to admit should bend over and kiss his dead ass for paving the way for their careers...
I'll know whether I want to go to heaven or hell when I croak depending on which place welcomes him...
Live 9.1 <> occasionally Reason 4.0.1 <> Reaper.latest! <> Windows 7 on a bespoke Intel Q6600 <> ASUS P5E <> 8GB RAM, M-Audio Delta 2496 and that's it.

I think a lot do.... Just like Carlin would thank Lenny, and everyone would thank Red Foxx.

He was another creative person along with a few others that for me, was proof that talent can sometimes mature with age. Personally I thought he got funnier the older he got. When I was a kid, I thought his stuff was merely OK, but the routines I've listened to him perform for the last ten or fifteen years were pure genius.
Too bad there won't be any more, but the inspiration he provided other comedians will still have impact.
