Jim Backus' best role.

I can only wonder what it would have been like with Ernie Kovacs.

I lost my wife of 22+ years in October 2018.
There are still some songs, shows, places and smells that just cause me to break down. I just can't deal with them. Sometimes the void can never be filled.
You are not alone.
