Rest in peace Mr. Deluise. You made me laugh until tears ran down my face many times. You also gave us 3 very talented sons to follow in your foot steps. You'll never be forgotten.

Thanks for the memories...

Such a loss! As well as being a talented comedic actor, he was also a gifted children's book author. I have a couple of his books.

Naturally funny, loved food, had a loving family, and saddened everyone when he passed. That's a good life in my book.

I loved that man! He was so super-talented. I actually got to see him in Chicago when I went to a trade show and I was just in awe! RIP-you will be missed.
