The legendary comedian died Thursday at his Los Angeles home at age 90. Rickles is survived by his wife of 52 years, Barbara—whom he famously joked had jewelry bright enough to signal ships—along with his daughter and two grandchildren. Over a career spanning more than six decades, he became renowned for his lightning-fast wit and signature insult comedy, often turning the tables on hecklers and friends alike.
