I was not surprised to hear that Red Skelton has left this world for The Next.  Several months ago we got a strange astral visit from him in which he told my wife he was getting very tired of life, that his body had become a prison to him.
When someone can astral project themselves so strongly the silver cord that connects them to their body must be very thin, and ready to part.
I will miss Mr. Skelton.  His humor was not dirty, nor did it humiliate any race, or, creed.  Gertrude and Heathcliff always gave me a chuckle.
We will miss good, joyous entertainment like his, because the raunch we have from the so-called comedians of today is nothing in comparison, nothing at all.
