Irwin "Professor" Corey

I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of mr Irwin Corey a great comedian may the God of tender mercies grant him peace

I am the niece of Norman Franklin(my mother's younger brother) Growing up we learned of the relationship between Irwin and Norman. Once written there was always a copy of the book he did with irwin-kept on a table in Teaneck,NJ even after Norm left Brooklyn behind. Even though of a different generation I had seen Irwin on tv often enough to appreciate his offbeat yet original style of humor. I had always been impressed by my uncle's offbeat and humorous literary skills - so the two met in...

All thought he didnt say much that made sense, I learned a lot from him about the art of listening.

Irwin was gifted at satirizing pomposity. My father could hardly contain himself when he heard the "professor" do his gags. We need more people with Irwin's style: humor without meanness, ugliness or profanity.

Always will remember his "shticks" he was a master at laughter and joy. Rip professor, you done good

Since I attended one of the Prof's performances in Peabody, Mass 1967/8 I have only needed to think of him and I burst into giggles... and remember with fondness my first husband who accompanied me. It's rare when a person's absence is as strong as their presence and for that I shall always thank Prof Irwin Corey :)))))) So many of us join Richard in the joy of never having to feel we have lost the Prof. for he has left us so much to remember.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
