Ron Palillo (Arnold Horshack) Dead at Age 63

Welcome Back Kotter, one of my favourite shows and one of my favourite characters was Horshack

Tame by today’s standards, but so many memorable moments….

Up your nose with a rubber hose Horshack, you will be missed by many.

I am inviting members to post a few video’s or photos of those memorable moments and scenes.

R.I.P Mr Horshack

OOOO MR KOTTER!!!!
I loved that show, all the greats are slowly dying off....

He was 63? That means he would have been around 26 when the show first aired in 1975. I never would have guessed.

RIP, Mr. Palillo.

"Hullo. (pause) How-wah-ya? (pause) I'm AHH-nol'd HOR-shaaaaack."
(How Arnold introduces himself)
"That was ver-ry impressive, Mister Kotter-r-r!"
(How Arnold praises Mr. Kotter's teaching, sometimes jokes.)
"G'head, G'head! (Go ahead, go ahead)"

I did not know (or I forgot) that his middle name was 'Dingfelder'.... of course it was

When you’re old, it seems like only yesterday

They believe that it was a heart attack; if they suspect anything else an autopsy will probably be done.

Well, Juan Epstein (Robert Hegyes) died earlier this year too.
But I think Travolta is good for another couple decades,
because he's been well Greased.

Wow, I did not know that, he was a great personality as well.

Funny, besides being well Greased, I'm sure the Scientology cult will find a way to preserve him forever.
