Goodbye, Mr. Warmth.
The legendary Don Rickles has passed, and as much as he insulted everyone he ever met, you’d be hard pressed to find a more loved person in the world of comedy.

When it came time to say goodbye, some made reverent jokes, some shared stories, and some simply mourned the loss of a comic genius.
See what Jimmy Kimmel, Patton Oswalt, and a slew of other comedians and stars had to say (below):
90 years with Don Rickles weren’t enough. One of the sweetest and most lovely people I had the pleasure of knowing. We miss you already

In lieu of flowers, Don Rickles’ family has requested that people drop their pants and fire a rocket. #RIPDonRickles
