George Carlin
12 May 1937 - 22 June 2008
71 years, 1 month, 12 days
Occupation: Author, comedian, grammy award winner, Genius
Cause of Death: Heart Failure
Trivia: I'll do a quote instead, "I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."
