Jonathan Winters, R.I.P.

One of my favorite comedians has passed away.

The Washington Times reported:


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedian Jonathan Winters, whose breakneck improvisations inspired Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and many others, has died at age 87. 
Longtime family friend Joe Petro III says Winters died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes. 
Winters was a master of improvisational comedy, with a grab bag of eccentric personalities and facial expressions. Characters such as the dirty old lady Maude Frickert were based on people Winters knew growing up in Ohio.
The earliest memory I have of Winters was his appearance in Stanley Kramer's 1963 comedy, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
