Sad story overall.

Finally, after 42 years, he's at peace.

Indeed. And seeing this news led me to another link and I found out that Dana Plato's son, the kid whose conception led to her being fired from the TV show, committed suicide himself earlier this month. Now that's a sad family story, too.

Damn, that's sad. Looks like he kept a generally pleasant attitude in the midst of and in spite of his struggles.

RIP. I hope and pray that he does.

She died 11 years ago.

What's your point? Just this month, and apparently related to the suicide of his mother, her kid killed himself. Apparently he didn't get over it, even if it was eleven years ago.

Too young. RIP Gary. I wanted to hear one more time, "What you talking about Willis?" Pulled a clip up on youtube.

I misread your post. Sorry.

Very sad. Heard he had DAILY dialysis while on the set of Different Strokes....and I would imagine ever since.
