His comedic brilliance, wit and talent were unmatched. Richard will always be a cherished member of the HBO and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ families, our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and all the fans who could count on Richard to brighten their days with laughter.”The comedian announced last April that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and was retiring from stand-up comedy.In a Vanity Fair interview published last week, Lewis said about his diagnosis, “It changed my outlook in that it’s been a combination of forcing myself to look back and be grateful.

I’ve had such an amazing life. I still do. I’m a lucky man…I got in touch with more gratitude and also acceptance. It’s imperative that I accept the fact that I have Parkinson’s.

If you don’t accept it, then it lingers around your brain and you get morbid and depressed. You lose energy.”In 2021, Lewis announced that he would only appear in one episode of “Curb” Season 11 because of his illness.
