R.I.P. Peter Boyle

“LOS ANGELES - Peter Boyle, the actor who transformed from an angry workingman in Joe to a tap-dancing monster in Young Frankenstein and, finally, the comically grouchy father on Everybody Loves Raymond, has died. He was 71.
Boyle, who had been suffering from multiple myeloma and heart disease, died Tuesday evening at New York Presbyterian Hospital, said his publicist, Jennifer Plante.”

It never occurred to me that Peter’s dad was “Uncle Pete” on early Philadelphia TV for kids. He was a terrific quick sketch artist and introduced many young ones, like myself, to the “Little Rascals” of “Our Gang” fame.

Time truly is a thief.
