What a delightful man he was! Back in 1988 I was working for Valley National Bank in Toluca Lake, CA. The bank was 5 minutes from Warner Bros. Studios and other entertainment hotspots. Well I received a call in the Mastercard department from a very funny, friendly, whimsical man named Jonathan Winters. He had lost his Mastercard and needed another one quickly as he was going to be travelling. I let him know that I could make him one within the hour if he would like to pick it up. He was absolutely delighted to hear this and asked me what kind of candy did I like, I said "oh no, nothing Sir", he said loudly "Ya like like Snickers Sweetie?" I said well yeah, who doesn't, but really no thank you and that I would have his card ready.
The front office gal came back to me about an hour later and said, "you are not going to believe who is waiting for you Patti." I said, well Jonathan Winters was coming to pick up his card. So I went out to the front office with his new card in hand. It was at that moment that I realized it was JONATHAN WINTERS! I was a little star struck, however he quickly made that feeling go away, by slapping a giant Snickers on the counter between us and telling me Thank you so much, he had to bring something sweet for his Sweetie. That day will forever be engrained in my memory of having the opportunity to meet such a delightful, cheerful man. Who's personality and presence in person was as big as he was on the screen.
