I enjoyed Garry Shandling’s work so much. I felt physical pain when I heard the news. Just very sad.
Sue, Your story was so touching. I forwarded it to my wife. It really was special.

She was such a wonderful actress and a lovely person. May she be in heavenly joy. Just wanted to share some memories, though few, about Garry Shandling. I had been assisting on a project that had several comedians interviewed for a mockumentary. Garry was kind and funny in his awkward way. His subtlety with his jokes and his physical comedy was amazing. I loved watching him work. My fondest memory was at an anniversary party where there was Scottish folk dancing. All were encouraged to take part. During the dance we had to switch partners and I ended up with Garry Shandling. We were both awkward and he played it up so much that I was laughing my ass off. Right before we had to switch partners again, he broke down laughing too. We had so much fun and I got to see a glimpse of his warmth through his shyness. He's making them laugh in heaven now.

I'm hearing that appended to more and more written tributes on MOPO and elsewhere. None of us are "that old" until....we are. I toured the UK with Sam Andrew, guitarist for Big brother & the Holding Co., in 2014. We had a great time and a wonderful personal and musical rapport. We planned a two guitar tour and were making preparations for for it when he was struck down by a heart attack in January 2015. I think that's the first time I used the phrase "He wasn't that old" (he was 72). The Reaper is like some white trash trailer park dwelling relative. When he shows up at the door, you don't want to let him in, but you have to because, in some macabre way, he's kin. Meantime, let us not dwell on our own mortality . Let us not spend our days ruminating on our own personal sell-by date. We know it's coming. Instead fill your days creating good and new things, finding ways to acquire that special poster, making ourselves and those we love happy, and honoring those great talents that brought us all into this wonderful little hobby. Today's ear-worm for me is: "Patty adores a minuet, the Eiffel Tower, and Crepes Suzette, but Patty loves rock'n'roll, a hot dog makes her lose control, What a wild duet!" RIP. Love those personal stories, Sue. Let's all keep 'em coming! Greg Douglass ---- Susan <filmfantast...@msn.com <mailto:filmfantast...@msn.com> > wrote: > She was a wonderful person.
