Very sad. Remember him most from the Wonder Years – memorable perforfance is an understatement. RIP.
Yes Wonder Years was indeed wonderful. “Some have greatness thrust upon them…and some have greatness thrust upon them while they’re in the bathroom.”
Funny I was going to post basically the same thing. I loved The Wonder Years and I vividly remember that episode where he dies in the end. A very sad and touching episode.
His appearance on the Wonder Years as Kevin’s maths teacher is one I still remember today as being one of my favourites and most poignant. Still stands out in my memory. RIP.
