Pandora:
There wasn't a sight-gag he couldn't beat to death

John Florida:
  He did a lot of charitable work for that I admire him .  RIP   his movies you can have.

ToddF:
A fixture of my childhood labor days.

RIP.

Libertas:
How did Dean ever put up with him that long?   ::saywhat::

Anyway, he was a professional goofball long before Jim Carey came along...

But latter generations probably only associate him with MD telethon...

R.I.P.
