lagilmanActor and comedian, dead at age 80. I knew him mainly as the Tn Man in The Wiz, but was blown away by what he did with that role. According to news reports, he never married and leaves behind no known family. So light a candle for him, to speed him on his way and remember him to the world.
Apropos of current days, one of his better known quips:
"The opposite of pro is con/ That fact is clearly seen/ If progress means move forward/ Then what does Congress mean?"
