One of the all-time great comedy writers and wits has left us. He worked for Sid Caesar. He co-authored A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. He wrote the book for many Broadway shows including City of Angels. He developed, produced and wrote the TV series, M*A*S*H. He wrote or co-wrote funny movies like Oh God, Movie Movie and Tootsie. He was a major force in the Writers Guild and a friend, mentor and role model to so many.
I'll have more thoughts about Larry later. I'm just thinking that if they have a memorial service and people get up there and start quoting funny things the man said, we're going to be there for a month.
