Larry Stortch...RIP

[JimK]

Just found out (he passed away last week)...didn't see a thread. So...
Born in 1923! 99 & died of natural causes. We should all be so lucky.
Anyway, always enjoyed his schtick in those '60s/'70s shows. Much of which could not be aired today.
He & Forrest Tucker & some guy in a gorilla suit were the original Ghostbusters.

RIP, sir...

I enjoyed his schtick, too. Enjoyed him and Forrest Tucker in the series "F Troop" (1965 to '67). That'd put me at 8 to 10 years old LOL. Watched it whenever it was on.

RIP Larry.

A very funny guy. I remember him mostly from "F Troop" and "The Great Race."

Oh man. Who could forget the Sid & Marty Krofft gem, "The Ghost Busters"? RIP, Larry.

Yes, Larry was truly funny; he was a natural comedian.

I remember one episode of F Troop, in which he played his Russian cousin.

I forgot his name.

The cousin comes for a visit to Fort Courage, and to make him feel at home, the cook made him some borscht.

He takes a taste, then says in a heavy Russian accent, “Just like my mother used to make, and then my father would throw it out the window!”

And then he threw it out the window!

I still crack up when I think of it!

R.I.P. Larry, and thanks for the laughs.

Mike

I found the clip!


The entire thing is funny, but if you want to go to the food out the window, go to 10:40 on the clock.
