Schwartz's Mildred, told CNN that her husband of 70 years died after being hospitalized for an infection the past 10 days. She and the couple's daughter Hope Juber were with Schwartz when he died peacefully at about 4 a.m. (7 a.m. ET) on Tuesday, according to CNN.

He had a very good life, Mildred Schwartz told CNN. It's just too bad it had to come to an end.

Schwartz began his TV career as a writer for The Red Skelton Hour, for which he won an Emmy award.
