Sorry to hear. Altho I admit that I've never read any of his work. What I remember most about him is Lily Tomlin's phone operator character persistently calling him "Mr. VEE-dul" on Laugh-In. (Dear gods, I'm old. :lol:)

I have performed in his play, "The Best Man" ... an interesting tale, though dated at this point.
