I'm saddened to let everyone know my father Sammy Shore recently passed at the age of 92 from natural causes. 
My parents divorced when I was three years old and even though my mom was the one that raised me, my dad still provided for me the best he could.
He came to little league games, holidays, and birthdays. My dad sacrificed a lot of his career for his family even though all he wanted to do was be on the road and tell jokes and be free.
Sammy Shore, the legendary stand-up comedian, passed away peacefully of natural causes at the age of 92 in his home in Las Vegas, surrounded by his wife, Suzanne, and family.
Sammy and his writing partner, Rudy Deluca, founded the world-famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles on April 7, 1972. It would become the premier stand-up comedy club in the world.
Sammy’s almost 70-year career as a stand-up began in the Catskills when he and Shecky Greene were thrown together as a comedy team. However, when Elvis chose him to open for his comeback at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in 1974, Sammy’s reputation skyrocketed.
