I have great respect and admiration for him...both as a comedic genius and a kind person.
His long suffering is over.

Thank you Mr. Conway. You gave us many hours of gut-busting laughter. I'll always remember you as the "The Dentist".

Yeah, well maybe it's my medication.
My stomach was always sore from laughing at his jokes and characters. He was the best. He never had to stoop to vulgarity. He didn't have to do that to be funny.

During a 2010 interview, when asked why he did comedy, Tim Conway said:
"I guess I was destined to do this. People have often said, you know, what else would you do if you weren't doing this? The answer is nothing because I'm not capable of doing anything else. This is pretty much it."
So up until he stopped performing, Tim Conway spent his life doing what he did best, and doing it better than just about anyone else on today's comedy scene. He obviously didn't mind playing second banana to others...frankly, he was so good at it, viewers didn't really notice or care that he wasn't the real "star" of the show.
Face it...the man made untold millions of people around the world laugh until their sides hurt.
He's free at last from the dementia demons, which I believe is something to be thankful for. If you've ever dealt with dementia, you know it never gets any better. Some media published photos of him in his later years, haggard, unsmiling, looking like he was at death's door.
The photo below is how I'll remember him, smiling and vibrant, face unlined from pain and worry. I hope he will rest peacefully throughout eternity.

Tim Conway RIP
Another of the great comedians has taken the last curtain.
Tim Conway died Tuesday morning 5-14-19 from a long fight with cancer.
Tim was definitely one of a kind because he put himself into every comedy script he performed.
Tim got the last laugh his way. He had 85 years and he spent much of it making people laugh. RIP Tim.
While I was typing I was beat to posting. Oh well Tim deserved any admiration given to him.
