Mr. Gaynes, you were talented and funny. The Police Academy movies are some of my favorites due to their silly, family friendly & fun nature. You added so much to that series as the lovable Lasard. RIP and bless you and your family.

To George
I feel very sad for your loss, you seemed to be as nice person as you were great actor.
This year, a lot of famous people have dead, but your death is the saddest for me and I think he should be more remembered.
I will never forget your perfomances as Henry Warnimont and Lassard and the laughs you gave us.
My condolences to the family
Rest in peace George Gaynes
