Thank you for remembering 'uncle pete'
You have outdone yourselves -- all of you out there in cyberspace who have taken the time to respond to my posting about my beloved uncle, Peter Boyle. What I didn't realize was just how beloved he was by everyone he ever made laugh, smile, cry, wince, shiver or think.
From those who recalled his Philly roots (and so many of you remember my grandfather's television show) to those who mentioned some of his lesser-known roles or who simply wanted to share their prayers and good wishes, you have given my family a lasting gift. Your words will be a comfort to us and a testament to his life that we can savor for years to come. Thank you.

He was great. I've never seen anything funnier than Frankenstein's monster in bed, with split frame glasses, reading the Wall Street Journal, rolling his eyes as his ditzy wife babbles on. My condolences.
