“He was never not funny,” the daughter continued in a heartfelt note. “My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and—the sign of a truly exceptional person—by many, many dogs.”
“I loved him tremendously,” she ended the emotional caption penned alongside a black and white photo of the late actor, leaning back on the recliner sofa with one hand in the air while tickling his pet dog from the other.
