AceShowbiz - Actor Pauly Shore has written a heartfelt tribute to his comedian father Sammy Shore following his death at the age of 92.
The "Encino Man" star took to social media on Saturday, May 18, and announced that The Comedy Store co-founder had died at his home in Las Vegas surrounded by his family.
"I'm saddened to let everyone know my father Sammy Shore recently passed at the age of 92 from natural causes," Pauly wrote. "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."
The 51-year-old sweetly recalled fond memories of time with his father, and noted that Sammy was at all his 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," Pauly shared.
The "Bio-Dome" star then promised he would carry on his father's legacy.
"Dad, you lived an amazing life and I'm so proud to say that you are my father. When you're in heaven I'll be killing the crowds night after night and carrying on your legacy. Love you Dad. Rest in peace," he concluded.
