Comment on Richard Lewis Dies: Beloved Comic, ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Actor Was 76

He died of a heart attack. My dad woke my mom up early one morning and told her they needed to go to the hospital; she quickly got ready and then he fell over dead just before they reached the garage. These things don’t always show very obvious symptoms. Go to your doctor, get yourself checked out before you’re another person whose family has to keep hearing “I didn’t even know they were sick.”

“I didn’t even know he was sick” is a reference to a Norm MacDonald joke

I’m sorry to hear about your father. I saw Lewis disclosed he Parkinson’s recently too.

    No worries. It’s a relatively niche reference and you had something important to say.
