From Yahoo! News:
Al Lewis, the cigar-chomping patriarch of "The Munsters" whose work as a basketball scout, restaurateur and political candidate never eclipsed his role as Grandpa from the television sitcom, died after years of failing health. He was 95.
Lewis, with his wife at his bedside, passed away Friday night, said Bernard White, program director at WBAI-FM, where the actor hosted a weekly radio program. White made the announcement on the air during the Saturday slot where Lewis usually appeared.
"To say that we will miss his generous, cantankerous, engaging spirit is a profound understatement," White said.
Crap, crap, double crap. I can't tell you the number of times I thought that he was right. How Herman Munster ever got with that fine-chick daughter of his, I'll never know. I personally thought that Grandpa should've taken Herman on one of the hunting trips where two go out, and only one comes back.
He will be missed by all the people who love Nick At Night, like me.
