Yes, he did, and I greatly disapprove of this behavior. How is he supposed to make another movie with Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder now!? I think that my favorite things he did were when he worked with the muppets, and also in Haunted Honeymoon with Gene and Gilda. He helped me to become a chef actually. I got one of his cookbooks and he was doing a book signing, and he autographed it for me. I remember him saying "You like to cook huh?" I was like 12 or 13 at the time, and said "Yeah, I love cooking!" God I was so excited to just meet him. I remember he said "Good! That's the most important thing in any food, love. Love what you do and do what you love, and then you can't ever go wrong. You're gonna be a fine chef one day I bet." Then he smiled. That infectious smile, it just stayed with me until this day. Such a warm, genuine, big hearted man. That second one... genuine. That's not a compliment I find that I'm able to give to a lot of people. That, I think, is why he was so special. Sleep well Dom... EDIT: Because I had to throw that link in there.
