His humor fit in with the times, a very entertaining comedian.
Watched him on He Haw.
RIP Another good man leaves us.

Perhaps his greatest role was as a Marine who served in the Pacific during World War II.

Yes, Maudie Frickert has left the building...
Winters was fast, funny, and a very troubled man. Also, from what I've heard, an accomplished painter.
The speed with which his mind worked was almost scary, till I saw Robin Williams. Both had their problems, and I often wondered if a mind racing that fast might be a burden.
Winters was brilliant, no doubt about it.

I remember him on the Smothers Brothers and really got to liking him. Seems like he had his own show once where it wasnt scripted, he would just pick up something from the "attic" or whatever room it was, and improv it. My fav was when he was a gas station attendant giving directions.RIP.

Legendary comic, a game changer. We will not see his like again.

Admittedly, I thought he had passed away a while ago!?!?!?
Winters had such a "tuned in" wit and amazing timing that he could command every scene. What a character (or more precisely, what a hundred hysterical characters)!

He was a true master of improvisational comedy. Give him any item, any setting or any subject and he could do an entire hilarious bit about it just making it up as we went.
He was a rare talent.
