Abe Vigoda died. Post your Shriver commems

After long cheating rumors of his demise, Abe Vigoda passed away today. He was 94, and could have been the model for that train wreck of a coin.

    It's not considered proper to make light of anyone's demise, but that comment about Abe Vigoda being the model for the Shriver commem really cracked me up.

    My condolences to the Vigoda family.

    He'll always be Fish, to me. He was a great "sad clown" comedic actor in that role. RIP, Fish.

    What? Abe Vigoda was still alive? I had no idea.



    He must've been what, 180 or so?



    Herman Wouk is still alive, I think.



    The captain of the German U-boat that sank two ships here in 1942 is still alive at 103+. Only 25% of those guys survived the war.

    Remember the episode when he ate some of the hash brownies that Wojo's girlfriend gave him?

    He's about 100X more attractive than Shriver, that's for sure! I was surprised to learn from today's articles that he was living just a short distance from me.

    I remember when Dave Letterman put a mirror under his nose to see if he was still breathing....and that had to be at least 10 years ago.





    My dad was a NY cop for 35 years. Out of all the police shows on TV over the years, he said the one that came closest to real life was Barney Miller.







    My condolences to the Vigoda family.







    Must...resist...lame joke about Fish sleeping with the fishes....

    Very sad.... he was really great... and I totally agree with CaptHenway, the show

    where they all ate hash brownies (it was titled 'Hash') was hilarious... I watched it

    again last night on youtube when I read of Abe's death.

    My condolences to his family....RickO
