Just got home after a very long day... 12 hours at the store to hear this sad news. I really liked him. I don't really watch a lot of sitcoms, so Raymond passed me by for the most part. But I adored him in Young Frankenstein as well as his turn in The Dream Team opposite Michael Keaton among other films. And his work on the X-Files in Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose... that was one of my favorite episodes. Loved him . :(
