Bob Newhart has died at the age of 94 in Los Angeles. The
comedy icon’s publicist Jerry Digney said he died after a
series of short illnesses.
Newhart spent six decades making America laugh. He began
his long and storied career with a wildly influential stand-up
record in 1960, starred in a pair of long-running and much-
loved sitcoms through the 1970s and 1980s and continued
to win over new fans with appearances in films such as Elf
and a recurring role as Professor Proton on The Big Bang
Theory.

My sympathy to family at your loss. I just had a spiritual connection tonight to Bob. I sat down for the first time in many years to watch a Bob Newhart show. Out of the may programs to view I watched and laughed!!!
One hour later this news note poped up that Bob died. My prayers go out tonight for the family and friends that I just connected to.
