My prayers go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. Thanks for you body of work bringing enjoyment.

he was one of the funniest ever in his prime. silver streak and stir crazy can still make me pee myself laughing. his standup about him lighting himself on fire...amazing. a man willing to share that level of his personal life with others, and realize the insanity of it and joke about it...

He was original and willing to share his flaws and let us laugh at him. A true comedic genius.

RIP.

Yeah, because you knew the man. If that's all you could see of this wonderful and truly dynamic person, then it's your loss. He'll truly be missed. But his legacy will live on to inspire others.

Without him comedy would be this vanilla Dick Van Dyke bullsh*t.

God bless him and allow him to enter the holy gates of heaven.

Click on "Volks" and take a look at his posts. He's full of hatred. Let him spoil alone.

God really seems to be squeezing the last two months of the year for his dead celebrities quota.

I actually don't care for your point of view. Sincerily.

I will miss him.

He claims he ain't dead yet, motherf*cker. I don't think he ever will be.
