HARVEY KORMAN AKA HEDLEY LAMARR
FEBRUARY 15, 1927 – MAY 29, 2008
R.I.P.

From "The Flintstones" and "Tom and Jerry"
To a loved, and well known comedy Star
Now, all we have are those memories
As Harvey looks down, from afar.

Millions watched his long career
With laughter’s tears, filling their eyes
Now, many more tears fall, in sorrow
At our loss, the whole World cries.

I wrote the following after a response to the above from Mr. Korman's daughter-in-law on another site.

But, we still have all those memories
Of the laughter, and all the happiness
A great legacy to last us all, forever
Of his humor, which is timeless.

Far into this World’s distant future
Folks will watch, and laugh, and know
They are watching one of the best
Of the Fine Art of, The Comedy Show.

Yes, the world lost some needed laughter when he died.  Joyce

Thank you, Abe. He was a fine comedian, and
the likes of him and his partners in comedy
will not be seen again, for a long, long
time. I think the best of him was when he
couldn't hold back the laughter when straight
man to Carole and Tim.
