I was thinking Winters from Band o Brothers...

Still, sad day when a talent like this dies, but he had a great long life.

Fair enough. I find him unbearably obnoxious.

Huh...I thought he died quite a long time ago? I was almost certain of it. Just goes to show what I know...

I remember watching his used car salesman sketch as a kid... I think he was "Heavy Lenny". That was one of the best laughs I can remember growing up. Unfortunately I can't find a link to it. I'm thinking maybe it was on The Smothers Brothers, but not sure.

Rest peacefully JW
