I was very saddened to hear this a little while ago. I re-watched Taxi Driver a week or so ago - his part in that is small but memorable. I saw Young Frankenstein in the theater back in the day - unforgettable. Hardcore - anyone remember that one! Saw that one in the theater, too. He was great in that. I enjoyed watching him in Everybody Loves Raymond occasionally, as well. He was one of the great film personalities.
