James Karen was born Jacob Karnofsky on Nov. 28, 1923, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
When days passed and no bad news came, Clooney called Karens wife to find out what happened.
His joie de vivre was contagious.
I hope this obituary does him justice, though I hoped I would never have to write it.
I still cant believe hes gone.
