Home Improvement action Earl Hindman dies

Actor Earl Hindman, best know as “Wilson” on Home Improvement, died of cancer at age 61. He was also Bob Reed on the soap “Ryan’s Hope.”

Holy crap, that sucks. I mean, all I knew him from was Home Improvement, which I still catch in syndication, but still. If he was half as likeable as his character seemed (and I think with a role like that, you’d have to be), this is a really sad loss.

And to think, if you missed the good-bye, you never saw his face (unless you watched Ryan’s Hope, but up until now, I’d never heard of it).

Bummer. I also knew him from Ryan’s Hope. About a million years ago. Back when they had the original Dehlia. Boy! Did she crack me up. But bummer for him.
