Title: RIP Alan Thicke Post by: sprite75 on December 13, 2016, 09:28:39 PM f**k (http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-alan-thicke-20161213-story.html)
Quote Alan Thicke, an actor best-known for helping set a template for parenting ideals in the ’80s sitcom “Growing Pains,” has died of a heart attack. He was 69. His death was confirmed with the Times on Tuesday evening by the publicist of his son, pop-soul singer Robin Thicke. A songwriter and producer during his career in addition to being an actor and presenter, the Canadian-born Thicke had continued to appear in TV roles up through this year, including recent appearances on NBC’s drama “This Is Us” and Netflix’s “Fuller House.” “Season 2 Fuller House looking good,” read a post on Thicke’s Twitter feed from three hours ago. “I even like the ones I’m not in! #fullerhouse.” RIP Alan.

I never cared for Growing Pains but he was a talented comic actor, musician and singer.
Strangely enough, I was most impressed by his game show music. JOKER'S JIVE ! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdLfv62UpYw#) WHEEL OF FORTUNE (original theme) !
