Rest in Peace

In Memorium

Barney Martin was 82.  He was a former New York City detective who went into show business and became best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's father Morty on the comedian's hit television series.

It's rough when a player on one of your favourite shows of all time passes away.  I've got so many Morty memories.  My favourite is probably when Jerry bought him the "#1 Dad" t-shirt.  "Jerry, this is the most thoughtful gift you've ever given me."  Jerry's priceless reply? "You know, I bought you a Cadillac... Twice."
