Doris Day passed yesterday... she was 95.
Didn't know she or Tim were still alive a few days ago. Sad.

I read a few months ago that he was in bad shape. Apparently, he had some form of dementia and was unable to care for himself. Seems his "family" was angling for control. Sounded really sad and unfortunate - and all too common. He was great, as was the entire cast of the Carol Burnett show. Watching them try to make each other lose it was hilarious...
