I met him a few times, most recently at his magic shop in New Orleans. A great guy, very gregarious, and a terrific performer.

But I really think Harry the Hat was my favorite. The episode of Cheers where he and Coach set up everybody is one of the best. That and when he made Sam's rival tear down his own bar. He was great. RIP Harry.
