    I'm very sorry to hear about his death. In the 1960's I saw him give a one man show in Houston, and got to go back stage and shake his hand. Winters couldn't have been nicer. A brilliant comedian, who's largely unknown by far too many today. Thanks for the thread, SwoLy.

    Awesome impressions at about 7:00 minute mark and again at 8:00 :grin:

    He gave me many laughs over the years. Just a brilliant comedian.

    Rest in Peace Mr. Winters.

    Loved him when I was a kid -- I actually thought he died years ago...

    RIP he was one of a kind.

    I don't think it really hit me until Swoly-D posted this haunting image file. Then I realized exactly what the world of comedy lost.
