They just announced it on the local news.

That's sad news.

1. Guest starred in 'Get Smart' and was Mr Bickley in 'Mork and Mindy'
Well, on 'Mork and Mindy'.

Either way, a bad double entendre could be misconstrued when none was meant.

:(

He must've been around 82.

2. He was 85.
I especially liked him in "Newhart".

Good comedic actor.

What a shame. :-(

11. The Old Dark House
1963--a creepy fun movie for a kid on a Sunday TV matinee. That's the first thing I remember him in.

R.I.P.

12. Oh NO!
I saw him a few years back at a dinner theatre.
I wish his family peace in dealing with their loss

13. I adored him.
If he was in something I usually sat up and paid attention. I can't say that about very many actors.

14. That's very sad news. He was one celebrity that really seemed to be a part of my life as I grew up
The world's a sadder place knowing he is gone.
