    Damn.
    His was one of the most refreshing, creative and funny "SitComs" on tv.
    He will be sorely missed.
    My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and his many, many fans...of which, I was certainly one.

    Bernie was that actor that you never worried about because he's in like every other movie, and he always plays a key part.

    Like Bad Santa, classic.
