Since then, social media has been awash with tributes to the Emmy Award-winning actor, perhaps best known to this generation for his roles as Marty Funkhouser in Curb Your Enthusiasm and Larry Middleman in Arrested Development.
With a nod to Bob’s unique brand of humour, his former co-star Larry David expressed his regret in a statement yesterday.
It was an amazing, unforgettable experience knowing and working with him. There was no one like him, as he told us again and again.
Yep; “as he told us again and again”.
“We’re all in a state of shock,” Larry added.
Meanwhile, Cheryl Hines, who stared alongside both men in Curb Your Enthusiasm, noted the impact Bob’s passing would have on the world of comedy.
We lost a friend today. Thanks for all the laughs on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Our love to Bob’s family. The comedy world will miss you.
Equally devastated, Richard Lewis, who plays himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm, told his Twitter followers that he was ‘in shock’.
I knew him forever. His long career is hard to match. His role on #curbyourenthusiasm was excruciatingly brilliant! Our cast and crew will be devastated.
I’m in shock. I knew him forever. ♥️to his loved ones. His long career is hard to match. His role on #curbyourenthusiasm was excruciatingly brilliant! Our cast and crew will be devastated. He was so loved. He told me how much he loved LD and Curb. RIP buddy. @HBO pic.twitter.com/G8f5PoffuF
Bob, who had been diagnosed with leukemia, has been the subject of countless other online tributes since news broke of his passing this week.
His name was Bob Einstein, but we all called him Supe. Super Dave was a great friend and the master of a joke you could see coming for miles that still killed when it arrived. I will miss him https://t.co/JRkMp8XkCJ
Oh, #BobEinstein, how you will be missed. What a deeply funny man. Some of the biggest laughs I've ever had were from watching Super Dave and Marty Funkhauser. Too soon to have you gone from us. Heaven just got funnier.
For over 50 years Bob Einstein made the world laugh, both as a writer & an actor. His passing is a major loss to the world of comedy & I am forever grateful to this comic-genius for the lifetime of laughs he gave us.#RIPBobEinstein#RIPSuperDaveOsbornepic.twitter.com/B1BxaR7vMv
