He wrote some very funny books; "How I won the War" was made into a film that starred John Lennon (where Lennon is shot in the chest, no less). I always thought Milligan was the really "crazy" element in the Goons whereas Sellers and Secombe were funny, but still sane.
Supposedly a very unstable and unsettled personal life (not unlike Peter Sellers), but he's left us a legacy of laughter.
I'm sure he'll be sadly missed.
