Whenever someone dies in a hotel room, the mind tends to go to dark places.

Artie is gonna be the Keith Richards of comedy, outliving all of his younger, healthier contemporaries. But yeah very sad for Bob, hopefully it's a heart attack and not drugs or suicide.

Oh man that is so sad. He was a huge family man and according to Norm one of the kindest people you'll ever meet.

His response to Norm's passing was one of the saddest things I've ever listened to, he was genuinely destroyed by it. I don't think he would commit suicide with his family devotion, but you have to wonder if his death was related to the stress and sadness he felt in any way.

Hollywood is full of pieces of entitled ****, it's always horrible when the good ones go.

I had actually made it a point to see him perform the next time he came through Calgary literally because of the whole "you'll never know if it's the last time" thing.

He looked pretty good at 65 comparatively. Also is good enough shape. While I wasn't a fan of his over-the-top forced swearing comedy, he was definitely a household name from my era. Always sad when someone dies in a hotel room alone.

You could tell there was something on his mind lately... usually when he wore a hat!

That they travel? I don’t get this to be honest. Assume the poor guy travelled for work. May he rest in peace.

The world is objectively a duller place without these two. It makes me sad.

He had a cameo in half baked that I still chuckle at thinking about I am gonna miss him grew up watching him "Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck #### for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some #### for marijuana?"
