I remember him from Blazing Saddles as well, but yeah - he'll always be

Young Frankenstein was another classic.

Yep - was also a sad loss.

From what few interviews I heard him on, he sounded like a really nice guy!
Someone you'd want to meet and hang out with. 

Kinda like Bill Murray. He could play a jerk, but could also play a sad
