For me he will always remain the scary-grandpa type, like as the Postmaster General who threatened Kramer in Seinfeld. But yes, the other roles, too. "It's the right thing to do, and a tasty way to do it" is burned in my brain. RIP.

I recently re-watched Cocoon 1 and 2 and he seemed old then though was early 50s. 

I thought the exact same thing. Wasn't he playing a senior citizen? He was 50 exactly when the first Cocoon came out. I'm now older than he was. Yikes. RIP

This year just keeps on bringing on the tough times. We are losing a lot of the good ones.

I recently re-watched Cocoon 1 and 2 and he seemed old then though was early 50s. I looked him up on the net and was surprised he was still alive. A lot of great memories from as a kid in the 80s. I will never forget Our House and the Quaker Oatmeal commercials.
