Don Knotts, at 81.

I remember his role in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World where he is simply credited as a "nervous motorist," yet it was quite memorable, even if very short.

I remember enjoying the Reluctant Astronaut. He was a funny, funny man.

My brother chose to drop verse:
Quote

My name is Jacko, and I likes the girlies
I'm hard like Mr. Roper, but I'm smooth like Mr. Furley
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
