I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed away from natural causes. He was a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years. He will be greatly missed. Love you Dad.
Perhaps by most, Jerry Stiller was known for his role as Frank Costanza in the show "Seinfeld" and about a decade later, as Arthur Spooner in the sitcom, "The King of Queens."
Stiller had lost his wife, Anne Meara, in 2015. The two met in a New York casting call in 1953 and a few short years later became the timeless "Stiller & Meara" comedy team -- making their name in the 1960s with frequent performances on variety shows, including the "The Ed Sullivan Show."

Stiller & Meara. The kids loved them. Whenever they would be on TV the kids would stop what they're doing and watched their comedy. Even though they were too young to get it all they watched this man and this woman show their love for each other each time they performed together. And the kids loved it. I was one of those kids.

If you've never seen "The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three", you should. It's a great movie with Stiller. The original, not the shitty remake.
