Man I hate this. I loved that show. Now two main characters from that show is gone. first Robert Heyges (Epstien) and now this.

RIP Ron. And thanks for the great laughs.

Wow, I didn't realize he was that old...RIP.

the show was on almost 40 years ago now, time flies.

I wonder if Freddie Boom Boom Washington, Barbarino, Carvelli and Epstein will be the pall bearers

I think Epstein has passed too... (I think).

I saw "Horseshack" in one of the "Friday The 13th" films. Gosh, must have been a late 80's entry.

By that point he had "fixed" his nose so it took a double-take to make sure it was him.

Yep Epstein is indeed dead, just a few months ago.

[Hostile]

Ah man. That sucks. One of TVs great misfit characters.

 

[Tabascocat]

RIP. It is a real wake-up call seeing people die from our childhood memories and realizing that next generation is in line behind them (which I am probably included in at 42) Time sure starts flying after 35

Epstein died earlier this year... Hotsy Totsy died almost 10 years ago... and Woodman obviously is gone...

Not sure if Epstein will be on hand...

RIP

I loved that show.

Vinny Barbarino is hangin' in there, though. Maybe there's something to gettin' all those massages from male masseuses — not MY cup of tea... uh, ever — that keeps him kickin' and tickin'?

LOVED that show.

I sometimes wondered if he would throw his shoulder out raising his hand to answer one of Mr. Kotter's questions. His was a bit part, but he was very memorable.
