Dick was my favourite because he was so silly. Glad he good long life. He will be remembered for making so many families laugh together during a time when there was so much anger.

Your humor cannot be replaced, your wit was beyond compare.

Dick, you also wrote many scripts for The Bob Newhart Show. You directed many of these episodes. A beautifual job you did.

R.I.P. GOOD BUDDY.

I thought Rowan and Martin were the second best stand up team ever, second only to Abbot and Costello. They had perfect timing and that is learned only after years of non-stop work.

Martin looked, acted and sounded like a controlled nut with a slightly wild look in his eyes. He lived in his own universe but he was quite happy to be open and share it with us. Truly great comedy.

Reading this brought tears to my eyes. Those were really rough times and the many laughs that he and his pals provided were immeasurable.

Thank you, Dick Martin!

RIP

Okay, go ahead. Judge me with nuts, clueless, etc.
