R.I.P. to a complicated guy who almost lived several lives simultaneously. Comedian, businessman, philanthropist, jerk, etc. Lewis also survived several major illnesses and, making it to 91 with all his illnesses, is a role model that long life is possible for diabetics, heart attack victims, cancer survivors, drug addicts, etc.
Man, the guy crammed a lot into his life. I grew up watching him and Martin and then Lewis alone after they split up. That telethon seemed like it would never end but it hypnotically attracted you to the channel on Labor Day. "This is so bad. Why am I watching it?" R.I.P. Mr. Lewis.
