Very funny guy. I saw him recently on Conan, I think, and he looked in pretty bad shape. This news didn't surprise me.
Wow, I've heard every episode of Raymond at least 3 times...heard because my parents were always watching it and I was always in another room... I swear though, "Frank" epitomized "Holy crap!" I told my mom a little while ago and she looked at me with a shocked and horrified expression. She said she feels like someone in the family died. She immediately called my dad at work and they've been all morose the past hour. (They really watch TV way too much...) But anyways, sad sad stuff.
I only watched RAY for his one liners about Ray's mom, and her cooking: "Is there a sandwich for me if I answer YES?" Best episode ever is the "Sculpture" episode where he finds out at the end what it looks like: "HOLY CRAP!" Que en paz descanse Mr. Boyle. +
