Corey mixed social commentary into his playful approach to language — as at his birthday party in 2014, when he said, "Ten years ago, we had Johnny Cash. We had Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Today, 10 years later, there's no cash. There's no hope. There's no jobs."

I'd forgotten all about him. If you'd asked me I would have said he was already gone. 102. Wow.

He was my first "celeb" interview as a journalism student in '74 or '75. He was adorable. And he asked me if I had any spare weed.

I loved that guy. I thought he'd already passed away too.

His wife died in 2011. They were married 70 years.

I saw him in little clubs in Greenwhich Village back when...

He had a sweet way about his humor. Funny guy.

I hadn't thought about him for years. Another life, another time.
