Sandy Baron, who most recently played "Jack Klompus" -- the condo neighbor who continually battled with Jerry's dad -- on "Seinfeld," passed away in a Van Nuys nursing home on Sunday, January 21, 2001.

Gosh, Sandy was one of my first "TV crushes" when he starred in the late 60's comedy show "Hey Landlord!" A pre-teen living in Southern California, I felt sure that every New York City resident had to be like Sandy's character, "Chuck Hookstratten" -- friendly, cute, and quick-with-a-quip. <laugh>

What a wonderful talent -- Sandy's famous stage show about the life of comedian Lenny Bruce was brilliant.
