I wonder if Chachi had an alibi?
Notoriety killed her. To bad she was “Discovered”.
Hey you guys, enough with the so-called “humorous” comments. Give ms Moran some respect in passing away. God bless you Ms. Moran for your role on Happy Days. R.I.P.. 🙁
I hope it was a natural death, but my gut fears not.
“God bless you Ms. Moran for your role on Happy Days. R.I.P”
That’s what killed her. I know a couple ex NFL semi stars that have settled in our community. One of the owned a gym that I was working out at. Others I met at said gym. They were all living in the past. Couldn’t adjust to the lack of fan fair. Except for one Big Ass black guy that use to play for the Vikings back in the day. He had a dream and that dream was a smoke house restaurant. A passion. Last I heard he was doing pretty good.
@Bad_Brad: You should have told those guys you were a fan, and offered to take them to a fair. That might have cheered them up some, don’cha think?
🙂
PS, ate there once. A gym buddy. Me and the wife. Politest kids either one of us have ever met. His kids. Good Christians.
I’ll give up on dating her then.

I had my battle with those ass holes. They use to to a Thankgiving “Flag” foot ball game every year. Them against anybody that was stupid enough to get on the field with them. I was the big fish in the little pond, the pressure to join their little game was, well actually weak. That gym had a wrestling mat. So I told the couple big mouths “Let’s wrestle 3 two minute rounds”. If any of you survive I play flag football. No takers. You would recognize a few names.
I have another Great Story about the smoke house guy I’ll save for later.
Damn. Still young. One by one the 20th century is fading into the past. If that doesn’t bring your own mortality into focus, what will?
May you rest in peace, Erin. Thank you for everything you gave to this world.
By the words of her co-stars, it appears she struggled with finding peace here. I didn’t follow her life, so I can only hope she embraced Jesus before she passed.
Brad, what the heck is this later shit?
@Bad_Brad: So – a bunch of professional-level football players going up against amateurs? Yeah, that’s real fair, isn’t it?
Jerks.
Fonzie says “ahhhhh”
^^ “eyhhhh”
Absolve, we beseech Thee, O Lord,
the soul of Thy servant,
from every bond of sin,
that being raised in the glory of the resurrection,
she may be refreshed among the Saints and Elect.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A lot of middle aged want to be warriors in knee surgery next week. I kid you not.
Love you, PJ. I hope your weekend is good for you. Thank you for who you are in this world. It is better because you care.
Life is too short to not acknowledge the difference makers like you.
Speaking of playing football. When I was 22-23, working in Alaska and making pretty good money for my age, we went down to the Park Strip in Anchorage. There were 4-5 of us, all the same age. Anyway a group of kids that were a bit younger, maybe even high school age talked us into playing a game of football. Maybe 5 minutes into the game some young little prick that probably didn’t even have a job threw himself into my knee from the side, and I went down in a heap. I missed about 3 months of work because of that, last time I played any football.
joe6pak,
That,s the same game these ass holes were playing. Two of them use to play for the Raiders so that figures.
In the 70’s we didn’t watch TV until the streetlights
came on. Never watched any of it. Hated every TV sitcom
outside of Archie Bunker as we couldn’t relate to any
of the “big city” shat.
56 is too young, and I’m not far from it. I hope she finds
the peace she needs.
Her Happy Days are over…RIP
Goldenfoxx,
No, they are just beginning
This is really terrible, died at such a young age… I do remember reading about her having some substance abuse problems in the past, but I don’t believe that she’s been in that sort of ‘trouble’ for quite some time now… so how exactly did she die? AND WHERE? The article is so very vague. /tin foil hat activated/
The Daily Mail reported that her cause of death was a heroin overdose.
…oH. /tin foil hat DEactivated/
Always sad when someone passes (especially young) and I wonder if this person knew Jesus. I hope she did.
Oh, this is sad news. Didn’t follow her in later life, but I remember her as a kid – always full of life and smiles.
Dad of 4
Thank you. You have no idea how much what you said, means so much to me this morning. God bless you and yours.
Wikipedia says suspected heroin overdose. I hope they are wrong.
Wikipedia has since deleted the heroin reference.
