He wasn't old, just 63. R.I.P.

mr kotter is killing them

I didn't know he was gay. He kept it a secret from the public and to the Kotter cast all his life. It is revealed only now after he has died.

RIP Ron.

I thought maybe Travolta was killing them to keep them quiet about his "secret"

Good point 4tees.

RIP Horshack.

The celebrity boxing vs Screech was epic.

Sad news. Not very old. Can't say I'm surprised that he was gay. Not exactly a rarity in arts circles.

Gabe Kaplan, who played his teacher Mr. Kotter, is apparently only 4 years older than him.

What a colourful character, one of my ATF's. And I agree epic theme song by John Sebastian.

RIP Ron.

"Ooh-ooh-oooh!"

Who was the other to die.

RIP to Ron. Another funny character in an iconic sitcom series.

I wonder who will play Horshack in the Canadian remake of Welcome Back Kotter. Looking forward to watching Welcome Back Khadr who after being released goes back to teach in Mississauga, Ontario where he forms a touching relationship with a group of special ed ne'er-do-wells called the sweatcows. More quality programming from the CBC.


Yeah I've done this joke before, but not everyone reads every thread.
