Didn't The guy who played Juan Epstein die earlier this year? and if so this is the second TV seathog to die only the Freddie Boom Boom Washington and Vinnie Barbarino are the only original sweathogs still alive. This is difficult to believe.
The guy who played Principal Woodman died almost 34 years ago. SO that makes Ron Palillo the third one to have died with Robert Hedyes and John Sylvester White. THe rest of the cast are mostly still alive. THis is for the record,

Just remembered this from 1995

Seems like there has been a rash of show business people dying lately. I recall driving down the road in Nashville and hearing John Sebastian sing the theme song from this show.
