It def. sucks when it takes someone dying for them to be "remembered" and appreciated. As a kid in the 80s and 90s he was very popular and he influenced my style of humor that I appreciate probably without me even knowing. He had some bad movies as far as making money, and from what I know he just didn't get the work like he did pre-2000. I watched Real Time with Bill Maher and he said some really great things about him during his monologue.
