I was sorry to =ear of your friend's transition off the planet. I have been traveling =nd missed the memorials in 
NYC and on radio, but have clear memories of =he vivid personality on my TV in black and white and color. He was 
=nique and an instant classic. He seemed to be having fun poking fun and =idnt hurt anyone except the blowhards who 
deserve it.

In late June of 1966 my parents took a trip to =alifornia from NY and brought 
along a 10 year old me. One fine day =hile strolling along Fisherman's Wharf with my father we saw two =entlemen 
hanging out together and I remember my father greeting them by =ame and I remember the name Irwin Corey but not 
the other gentleman's. = just remember he had a beard and gave me kind of a weak handshake. I =sked my father 
"Who's he?" and Professor Corey bent down to my face and =aid to me "Young man, never say 'Who is he?', always say 
'How is he?'" =nd he was right. A much needed lesson in manners! Cut to 1985 and I =ound myself opening for 
Professor Corey and I had a great time. We sat =ackstage smoking weed and doing a few bumps (it was his stuff and it 
=as primo!) as he held up an autographed headshot of Jay Leno telling me =hat a corporate asshole he was. Irwin was 
cool. Like a kid in his 70s =ho never grew up and he reminded me of some old colorful Commie beatnik =rom the East 
Village. I dug him even though when I told him of our =eeting in '66 he denied ever being on the Wharf! Believe me, it 
=appened. Professor Corey was a total original and way outside the box =he way I like my comics. He had a l00000ng life 
and I know he took the =xpress elevator to comedy Heaven when his 102 year ride was over. God =less him. The comedy 
world could certainly use more like =im. 
EPILOGUE - In the late 90s I was talking to my =ather on the tellyfone and 
reminiscing about that day and he told me =he other fellow with the beard and weak handshake was Lenny Bruce (I =as 
10 and had no idea who he was) who would be dead about 5 weeks =ater. My father saw him perform and I remember 
him coming back to the =otel we were at and saying how there was this awful long haired noisy =ock band opening for 
Lenny (It turned out to be Frank Zappa and the =others of Invention). And now you know the rest of the story!
