Guest srobak Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 He was hospitalized here last week - though I forget for what. He is a Chicago staple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkp Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Confirmed. He was hospitalized for pnemonia last week. Best wishes to his family. I loved his performance in Ocean's 11. He was one of those comedians/actors that, even when acting serious, always brought a smile to my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsear Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Reportedly he suffered fro sarcoidosis which is an autoimmune disease. Essentially your own body attacks its own connective tissues. He was predisposed to any number of problems and a pneumonia was the one that got him. There but by the grace of whomever go any of us. R.I.P.
