That's so sad. He was hilarious.

He was one of a kind eh? Match Game is STILL one of my favorites. I watched an episode today.. where he was playing a rousing game of "Guess Where My Shirt Is From.."

Pakistan was the answer.

Yes, I was just thinking of him and Uncle Arthur and it wasn't just you guys who had those STELLAR role models - it was us girls too. I mean at least we could share some sort of gay sensibility, even if it was only on TV!
