RIP

I remember him best from Good Times, Coming to America and Die Hard 2.

It's been a sad week if you grew up in the 70s and 80s, with him, John Ashton, Maggie Smith and Kris Kristofferson all passing... or month, if you go back to James Earl Jones' passing.

He died back in August apparently. Was just announced today.

Lived a long life, but still sad. Absolutely loved Good Times since I was knee-high watching it in the 70s, and still watch it to this day.
He was also the weatherman in the Mary Tyler Moore show, and played a tough jail guard ("never f**k with Meisner) in Lock Up.
RIP

How come he dont want me man

 

[Primary Assist]

Oh man at first I thought this said John Stamos.

Either way, RIP. The scene after his funeral where Florida puts on a strong face for all the visitors, and then breaks down after they all leave and she's alone. Damn that was some great TV acting of that era.

Sad

Had health issues in recent years

Was always good in his roles from TV to movie

Good Times went downhill without him
