For a career that spanned 7 decades, his voice was recognizable to so many. And, though "Laugh In" was before my time, I did grow up watching reruns. What a voice.
 
Met him at a Southern California Restaurant Historical Society meeting at the last surviving Brown Derby in Los Feliz several years ago. Really nice guy. He told us stories about dining at the Brown Derby and of Hollywood and talked with everyone that approached him afterwards.
 
I remember him from Laugh in. I remember him holding one ear shut. He had a great voice. One of the first to use it ironically in a sketch setting. RIP
