I just heard the news on the radio. He was 65 years old. He will be missed.

They just gave an update. It seems that a heart attack was the cause of death. This just ruined my day.

You might want to change his last name to Pryor...
He was definitely a very unique comedian

His standup is some of the funniest comedy I've ever seen.

This is sad.

That's very sad news. He was hilarious, the little I saw of him.

He was one of the nastiest, funniest comedians I have ever heard. [Smile]

Damn.

He was one of the first, and among the greatest. I'm usually fairly callous towards the deaths of famous people, but Pryor's earned my respect.

Given the health problems he had later in life I tend to think a nice quick heart attack may have been a blessing.

The man had a very sad life. It's a shame that after spending his early life sorting out the garbage he grew up with that he didn't have the health to enjoy his old age.

Whenever I see his name, I always think of a girl from my town... sarah pryor. She was a very long unsolved mystery. I still remember riding the bus with her when I was in first grade... the year she dissapeared. No one figured out what happened to her until my freshman year in college.

Sorry for the derail.
