Nice tribute post to a great comedian and actor. It was such a shock to hear of his passing. I was a big fan of his. He will be sorely missed. R.I.P.
I see this is the only post you've done so far. It's a great idea for a blog. I hope that you will continue with it.
Have a great week.
Thanks, I haven't had time to post on it lately, but I am getting back to it.
