Farewell to the comedy giant Carl Reiner, who passed away today at the age of 98. Actor, writer, producer, and director, he was a man who for decades made the world a better place by bringing so much love, laughter, and joy to it. He's left a mark that will be remembered forever. with Estelle, his wife of 65 years and with his son, Rob On Saturday he tweeted this: "Nothing pleases me more than knowing that I have lived the best life possible by having met & marrying the gifted Estelle (Stella) Lebost, who partnered with me in bringing Rob, Annie & Lucas Reiner into this needy & evolving world."
Rest in peace, Mr. Reiner. Thanks for the memories.
