“I’ve heard the expression
everything went black ‘…
but plaid?!?
If this is the hereafter,

Tim Conway
Comedian, actor, dwarf duffer.
December 15, 1933 – May 14, 2019.
Aged 85 years.

Most recognized for: A key component to the success of the Carol Burnett show, Tim was notorious for shattering the composure of fellow sketch comedy performers. In the late 80’s, his Dorf character – a bumbling Swedish midget – became all the rage of the direct-to-video comedy market. He scored some recurring voice work on Spongebob Squarepants… until hydrocephalus sent Barnacle Boy to Davey Jones’ locker.
