RIP Robert Schimmel

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
In case you hadn't heard, the comedian Robert Schimmel died last weekend from injuries he suffered in a car accident.

He was 60 years old, and had looked pretty rough for years due to his fight with cancer and other health problems, but his humor continued on. Yes, it was definitely adult humor, but he was a great observer of the humor in daily life. He even wrote a book (and did performances) about his close call with cancer, called "Cancer on $5 A Day (Chemo Not Included)."

Cancer on $5 a day

His daughter was driving the car when the accident occurred.

This made me sick when I heard it. Such cruel irony, and now, the anguish that his family - his daughter in particular - has to endure.

It's a family wrought with tragedy. His family bio is something that's almost comically ridiculous. You'd almost have to have been a comedian to withstand it.
