"I've been called, I've been called, to that great boardroom in the sky . . ."

Today I am genuinely saddened, for last night, actor John Inman died at the age of 71. He is most remembered in the role of Mr. Humphries, the ambiguously gay sales assistant in the British comedy show Are You Being Served? Even though he didn't have a very large filmography, the loss of this great comic artist is a loss for us all. His perfectly-timed wit brought laughter and joy to many, and those of us who got to see his humor were able to experience something very special.

May you rest in peace, John. You will be greatly missed.
