This is just shocking to me, he was ageless in so many ways that his passing is anything but expected.

He's one of the few people in his profession who not only entertained but made people think. His lifetime of work helped change society and made all of us a little stronger as a whole.

Some may call him crass but he had the uncanny ability to strap away people's facades and make them think for themselves. In order to "get" him you have to be willing to devote some mental energy, those who did were rewarded with an expanded thought process. He did a heck of a lot more then comedy.

Knowledge is power!

He was a good comedian. (I didn't personally find him that funny). But I highly doubt he "changed society and made us all a little stronger". Anyway, RIP.
