R.I.P. Garry Shandling - Age 66

#1 Post by BackInTex » Thu Mar 24, 2016 2:38 pm

He was much too young.
Comedian, actor, writer and producer Garry Shandling, known for “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” and “The Larry Sanders Show,” has died, TMZ reported on Thursday.

He died at an L.A. hospital on Thursday, according to the outlet. A cause of death has not been released. He was not known to be suffering from any illnesses, and just a few days ago retweeted Kathy Griffin’s photo of himself, her and Bob Odenkirk.

Another one too close to my age. :(

I just read that Garry moved here when young and went to Palo Verde High School and the University of Arizona.

He's having a Buddhist funeral.
