No one could repeatedly bang their head on a window frame like Harvey.

And make it funny.

As Carol Burnett's sidekick..he was the greatest. He and Tim Conway kept everyone (including themselves) laughing. He shall be missed.

A good entertainer. I love to think I've identified his voice in the many, many cartoon films and tv shows he did over the years.

I also enjoyed most everything he did with Tim Conway.

R.I.P.
