Goodbye to Don Rickles

Don Rickles passed away at the age of 90! Wow, I worked for him on his short lived “The Don Rickles Show” a sitcom half
hour where he was a “normal guy” married to the actress Louise Sorel.  The only good thing that came out of it was that she and I became and are still friends.

Don was always “on” and therefore hard to write for. I know many people loved him and Bob Newhart, the kindest, nicest guy, was his best friend in real life. Which says a lot.

I won’t say “rest in peace” because Don would never want to!
