Cleaver, funny and no trash talk or put downs, sad to see that era end.

A bunch of recycled jokes. He's told the same stale corny jokes for the last 50 years. I bought an album of his years ago....the same thing.

Thumbs up if you're here because of Goodfellas.

I've always loved his humor. But this was the first time I ever say him play that fiddle! All these years I'd thought it was only a prop!

Read Henny's biography 'Take My Life, Please.' What a life story. The guy was amazing. He really had it hard when he was young; a real scramble.

I've heard Henny's will read:

To my lawyer Irving I leave nothing, even though I owe him fifty bucks.
