You brightened children's lives by collaborating with your sister-in-law, Shari Lewis, enlivening the likes of Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy and Charlie Horse, in addition to being a mighty fine pianist, lyricist, Streisand musical arranger and playwright.
Your talent with words had particular impact on the television realm as well, with sparkling scripts for "The New Twilight Zone", "Star Trek: the Next Generation"; "Highway to Heaven"; "Apple's Way" and "Insight", not to mention the lovely, ethereal classic, "The Littlest Angel."
However, I and many of your fans remain fondest of your 1982 adaptation of the famous fable by Anatole France, "The Juggler of Notre Dame", which I, for one, view every Christmas season.
Your work held great meaning and depth for generations of viewers, Mr. O'Kun. Thank you for all the cherished memories you've inspired, and through them, your warm, insightful mastery will live on.
