And he did leave us.... too early. Here's his official website:

I was fortunate to see him twice onstage at the same theater in Wallingford, CT. The first time I was about 15 (1965) and he was touring with his then wife, Carol Lawrence. He was funny, and charming, and his rich voice impressed a young teenager who first complained he was being dragged to the show by his parents. (Yes they knew better) The second time was in 1984 starring in 'Kiss me Kate.' He was as good as ever and still had that powerful voice until the end. In his later years he reached a new audience by poking fun at himself like William Shatner in commercials, TV shows, and movies.
