    Tremendously funny man - will be sorely missed. From what I understand, he was not doing so well for a long time - quite sad.

    It's quite a loss. But at least his work will live on. RIP

    He's proof that you can grow up in your grandmother's brothel and still make something of yourself. Very funny guy. Too bad it was not Andrew Dice Clay that went first.

    Yes. He mentioned that in one of his stand-up's. "A million brothers free-base and I blow up"!

    Prior was from my hometown of Peoria, IL. Some of the stiffs on the city council objected to naming a street in his honor due to the "indescretions" he had in his life.

    There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not glad I moved out of that town.
