69 yrs old is way too young. Had a heart attack while playing hockey with his 19 yr old son. So very sad. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-alan-thicke-20161213-story.html

he was the “perfect” dad on Growing Pains…and Florence Henderson was the “perfect” mom on the Brady Bunch.

Loved Growing Pains as I was experiencing my own.

He was also the dad in at least one of the Hallmark Christmas movies.

Ah, but he was a Canadian to the end. He died playing hockey … that is just about the best way a Canadian could exit the earth. He’ll go to heaven, for sure! The only thing better would have been if he’d had a Timmie’s in his hand.
