And two years younger than me.
He was an awful person by many accounts, so I can’t say that ‘I’ll miss him’ or anything because I’d be lying.

What a run. He was superb in The Insider and had a funny bit as Diane Lane’s dad in Must Love Dogs.
He will be greatly missed.

And he was in the second-best Star Trek movie. Don’t know why they didn’t lead with that…

Didn’t know he wrote both “Neither One of Us” and “Midnight Train to Georgia,” among other hits.
RIP
