Jerry Stiller was 92 at the time of his passing.
"I think Seinfeld really changed his life, because he was at a point in his career where the phone wasn't really ringing," the younger Stiller previously told The New Yorker about his father."And he and my mom had really stopped working together. So, for someone who's thrived on work and thrived on being funny and having an interaction with an audience, it really changed everything for him....
