Don was a legend in the comedy world and known for roasting celebs with his rapid fire insults. He was an honorary member of the Rat Pack and rose to fame after he insulted Frank Sinatra and got a big laugh from the singer/actor, who normally did not enjoy that treatment.

In recent years, Don has voiced the role of Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story series and appeared in a voice role in Kevin James‘ 2011 movie Zookeeper.

Rickles is survived by his wife Barbara, two kids, and two grandchildren. We send our thoughts and condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.
