That's too bad, but he had a good career. Howard Cunningham is one of the greatest fathers in television history.

That is a shame, I was on a train in Switzerland when I thought I saw him sitting a couple seats ahead of me.

Bummer. He was always that familiar face on TV when things were much simpler.
Makes me feel old.

Just saw him in The Back-up Plan. Not a great movie, but it was nice to see him. Holy cow, he did a lot of work.
RIP.
