Bob Elliott, of Bob and Ray Comedy Fame, Dies at 92

Bob Elliott, who as half of the comedy team Bob and Ray purveyed a distinctively low-key brand of humor on radio and television for more than 40 years, died on Tuesday at his home in Cundy’s Harbor, Me. He was 92.

His death was confirmed by his son Chris, the actor and comedian, who said he had throat cancer.

Oh damn. I know, he was very old. But Bob & Ray made me laugh. Most comedians don't.
