R.I.P Jack Riley

Jack Riley, know mostly as Mr. Carlin from The Bob Newhart show, but also appeared in several Mel Brooks movies has passed away.
The new box set of TBNS had a round table discussion of several actors from the show, including Riley, and he didn't say much, and looked to be in pretty rough shape; I assume that he had a pretty serious stroke in the past several years.
Rest in Peace Mr. Riley, thank you for all that you have given us.

In Mr. Carlin he created one of the most original and hilarious characters on TV. Sorry he's gone.

Here's to you, Mr. Riley!
