He was great with Milty.
He was “pre-nerd”.
Rest in Peace Arnold.

His son says Stang died of pneumonia Sunday at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts.

I've been hospitalized for pneumonia before. That has to be a frightening way to die.

RIP

I recently saw him in a repeat episode of the old Emergency show. I didn’t think he was still around. Great actor. RIP.

Funny guy. He was great in “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” in the scene where Jonathan Winters demolishes the service station. RIP.

We could ask Bernie Mack but he's not around any more.

IMHO, his part was one of the funniest ones in “Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World”

He played the co-owner of a new gas station. When Jonathan Winters starts destroying their new gas station, this little nerdy guy (Stang) shouts out “We’re going to have to kill him!”

One of the favorites of my youth...he now joins Officer Dibble and Benny the Ball in that alley in the sky.

As if Schwarzenegger needed anyone to make him look bigger, casting Stang alongside him in “Hercules in New York” did the trick quite well.

wow, had no idea he was still hanging in there at 91.

Last I heard Frank Cady (Mr. Drucker from Green Acres and Petticoat Junction) was still around at ninety-something
