The Year 2009 Claims Another Life
Soupy Sales, 83, a loose-limbed comedian whose goofy skits, slapstick antics and pie-tossing shenanigans made him one of the country’s most popular television stars of the 1950s and ’60s, died Oct. 22 at a hospice in the Bronx, N.Y. He had a variety of health problems, but the cause of death was not reported.

A tremendous loss. He's from my hometown. He will be missed.
RIP, Soupy! I never saw his old stuff from the 50s and 60s, but he helped my mom win a bunch of money on the Pyramid in the early '80s. Good times.
