Aww, RIP indeed. He still starred in his own commercials this past year or so... though I'd say he wasn't as elaborate with animals.

Sad news but at 92 ol' Cal lived a good, long life. We should all be so lucky.

RIP, pardner.

Damn. He's got a couple stealerships (yea, I've been told numerous times to not even go anywhere near his establishments) up here and we hadn't heard anything about that!

Yeah, I was at the SD Auto Museum a few years back and they had a commercial from the 70s with him in it. I had no idea he had been around so long until then.

Me too! I didn't even know he had such elaborate animal commercials until semi-recently. The only commercials I had seen him in, that was on TV, only had him talking.
