Complications from diabetes and it sounds like she’s going blind if she’s not already there.

RIP, Mary. ☹

I’m surprised to see that both Phyllis (at 90) and Rhoda (at 77) are still alive. Valerie Harper has been battling cancer for ages!

And of course, Lou (88) and Sue Ann (95) are still with us. Not to mention Rob Petrie (92).

RIP. ☹

I see Georgia Engel (68) is only six years older than I am. She must have been a mere babe in arms when she was cast as Georgette.

Gavin McLeod and Joyce Bulifant (Mr and Mrs Murray Slaughter) are still with us too at 85 and 79, respectively.

Priscilla Morrill (Edie Grant) passed away in 1994.

He was on The Middle not too long ago, playing the brother of Tag, played by Jerry van Dyke. Some homage hilarity ensued.
