Today is one of the saddest days of the year. Our sweetheart, my childhood hero and Clown, (who brought laughter into my life as a kid and whom we had the great honor of sharing the room with at the Friars Club for his 90th Birthday) - Jerry Lewis - has said goodbye to the world. Jerry Lewis was known for his slapstick comedy and the movie "The Nutty Professor" and many other movies.
I had the honor of attending his 90th birthday bash and taking Jerry Lewis' photo as he enjoyed the comedy and music of Comedian Marilyn Michaels and son, Pianist Mark Wilk at the event hosted at the Friar's Club. It was the last time we saw Jerry Lewis and he was having the time of his life. As is typically done at the Friar's Club, Jerry was roasted and entertained by a host of artistic television luminaries.
Jerry was the Comedian Angel who brought so much joy to me, millions of others and to thousands of Children with Muscular Dystrophy, raising 2.6 billion for charity with his philanthropic work on the annual Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. Lewis left the program after their 2010 fundraiser and the Muscular Dystrophy Association chose to end their traditional telethon in 2015.
Jerry died of natural causes at his home in Las Vegas and was surrounded by family. The world will never be the same again. We extend our prayers and condolences to his beloved family. Rest in Peace Jerry Lewis.
