All he needs, he says, is six television commercials and 25 to 30 radio spots running across the state for a month. Then he could turn the governor's mansion into a day-care center and kick every member of the state Legislature out of Albany."

"Lewis was born Albert Meister, probably in 1923, although he insisted that he was born in 1910. This, and Lewis’s many other questionable stories, means that much of the actor’s life is a broth of conjecture that his fans will no doubt squabble over for years to come. ... He is survived by his second wife, Karen, and by three sons from his first marriage."

"Newspapers across the country, including this one, published a small correction a few days ago. Al Lewis, the actor who played Grandpa in The Munsters, died on Roosevelt Island last week at the age of 82. He was not, repeat, not 95. A 13-year discrepancy in the age of a minor celebrity poses no threat to the well-being of our nation. Nor does it silence the laughter that Mr. Lewis continues to coax from us through sitcom perpetuity, or diminish the passion he demonstrated as an advocate for reform and the Green Party candidate for governor in 1998, when he was 88 -- that is, 75."

"Al Lewis, the cigar-chomping patriarch of "The Munsters" whose work as a basketball scout, restaurateur and political candidate never eclipsed his role as Grandpa from the television sitcom, died on Friday after several years of failing health. He was 95 [sic] and lived on Roosevelt Island. Mr. Lewis died with his wife at his bedside, said Bernard White, program director at WBAI-FM in New York City, where the actor had been the host of a weekly radio program for years."
