During his lifetime he won far too many awards to list such as Emmys. Pulitzers, Writers' Guild, Kennedy Center honors, Golden Globes, etc. etc.

He will be missed by many.
What a very good summary of this man's life. I was saddened to read that this creative genius had passed. He is irreplaceable.
