Jonathan Winters passed away of natural causes at his Montecito, California home at 6:45 p.m. PDT on April 11, 2013, surrounded by family and friends. He was 87 years old.
I remember him most from one of my favorite old comedy movies, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. One of the true great comedians!

Love that movie, have it on DVD. I don't recall seeing him in some time.
Mork and Mindy.
Sad day.
I loved him in that film, one of my earliest memories of films. Watching him smash up Gas station while Choo Choo from Top Cat tried to stop him. Ha ha RIP
Loved him on Hollywood Squares =)
I read an article decades ago that he got pulled over for speeding, the rather intense officer asked him "where's the fire?", and Johnathan responded, "in your eyes officer".
One of the quickest wits. He will be missed

Genius, I've just watched about half an hour of it on You Tube… Brilliant đŸ™‚
He had his own show for a while, my favorite memories of him on the show were where he would take suggestions for props or situations from the audience and then he would improvise—golden moments, you never knew what he would do next!
Oh noes. Sad.
