Peter Boyle died today, he was 71 years young. He was my favorite comedic actor, of all time. When he played the monster in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, he had me hooked. When it was announced that he was to play Ray Barrone's father in Everybody Loves Raymond, I was ecstatic. He was lightning in a bottle.I'm glad that they ended Raymond when they did; he was apparently in failing health, and that was part of the reason for the series ending after 10 years.
Peter Boyle was the greatest - and he leaves behind some irreplaceable work. RIP.
