Seemed like a pretty decent guy.

Don't waste another minute on your crying

He was a really good guitar player too.

Crazy. He wasn't that old, 60's right?

Sucks, I liked that show RIP

I hope he was saved.

69.

The guy had a crazy career, a bit under the radar in some respects. He co-wrote the theme songs to Different Strokes, Charles in Charge, The Facts of Life, Wheel of Fortune, and a ton of other things.

There's always a celebrity death each December. Was wondering who it would be this year.

He also sang the Different Strokes theme song.

This is sad.

He had been a weekly guest on the Dan LaBatard show and he was pretty funny. Entertaining guy.

Here's a pretty good interview with him -

Starts about 5 minutes in, and goes till the 37:00 or so.

RIP. Watched every single episode of Growing Pains in its original run. Sad that he died. He's a year younger than my parents.

Died playing hockey with his son. Not a bad way to leave.

Sad that a guy who looks that young at close to 70, and was still active, can pass at that age. Not that 69 is young, but it is by no means what I would call old. Fast forward 20 years and it wouldn't surprise me. Sad stuff.

Man this year was horrible for celeb deaths. Looks like it ain't done with us yet, either.

I know. Walter Slobcock keeps wishing me dead. This could be the year he gets his wish....or not. But then, I am only a very minor celebrity.

Perhaps the getbig Christmas card was a foreshadowing event.

69 is way too early...
