Alan Thicke passed away today at the age of 69 from a heart attack in Burbank according to TMZ.
He is best known to all of us as Jason Seaver on Growing Pains. He was like your friend’s cool dad that you liked hanging out with every week for a half hour. Before we knew him in that role, we knew his words from the Different Strokes and The Facts of Life’s theme songs. That was his day job, but at night he was hosting a talk show that was ahead of his time.
In recent years, he was all over our televisions in TV movies, guest roles and appearing on Reality and Games Show. Whenever he was on, he would bring a smile to our face. We remembered the joy he brought us as kids. Today, let’s honor him by watching one of his many roles.
