Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr. (7-24-1946 – 11-11- 2022)

NEW YORK (AP) — Gallagher, the long-haired, smash-’em-up
comedian who left a trail of laughter, anger and shattered
watermelons over a decadeslong career, has died. 

Craig Marquardo, in a statement identifying himself as
Gallagher’s “longtime former manager,” said that he died
Friday at his home in Palm Springs, California, after a brief
illness. Gallagher had numerous heart attacks over the years,
including one right before a scheduled show in Texas in 2012.
