  • -Known by all close to him,

  • he loved a good joke, the richer the better,

  • and he'd throw his head back and give that great laugh,

  • Apparently, it paired well with the steak

  • Baker had delivered from Morton's.

  • -All four of us were singing

  • as we went back to the White House --

  • The President wrote that he was finally losing his marbles.

  • -He loved to laugh, especially at himself.

  • He could tease and needle, but never out of malice.

  • He never lost his sense of humor.

  • Humor is the universal solvent against the abrasive elements

  • of life .
