  1. I never watched the show, just knew of it. The only thing I can say is- RIP, diabetes is a bitch, and I used to work with Adam Rich’s grandma. She was a sweater knitting fool! lol. Nice lady.

  2. I was in a two-man play with Grant Goodeve once. A VERY gracious man. That was as close to Dick Van Patten as I got. Oh! His dog food gave my late dog the best years of her digestive life. :*)
