Jonathon Winters made me laugh because he was a very funny guy. He was a favourite of mine but I saw him far too infrequently.
As a kid growing up in the 60's he was a regular on THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW and was in a number of 60's comedy movies of varying quality, but unlike Paul Lynde and Don Rickles he didn't guest star in television sitcoms and it's a shame.
His role as Mirth in MORK & MINDY really benefited the show and his work with Robin Williams was very funny.
Of course his fame is based on his improvisation.
Like so many comedians he lived a long life and I always believe that making people laugh adds to a longer life.
Will be forever remembered for destroying the servo in It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World and stealing the movie.
Goodbye Jonathon you were a funny man.
