Guest FourAces Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I felt sad when I read about his death earlier today. Not really sure why I was never a big fan of his .. though I was a big fan of the show. I guess it seem many from my generation are leaving this planet lately ... anyway I hope he is RIP.

Guest EXPAT Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I was never a fan of his or that show either. But I had no idea he was gay either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axiom2001 Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 He was one of my favorite characters on Welcome Back Kotter, and I thought about him as a youngster on that show when the newscaster on NBC evening's news relayed to us that he had died at a, too me, not too old age. May he rest in peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MsGuy Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 When is his birthday? Ronald Palillo was born April 2, 1949, in Cheshire, Connecticut. Now that I've gone to the trouble to look it up for you, Lucky, be sure to mark it on your calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well, if I do remember his birthday next year, at least i will be remembering a gay guy's birthday, not some homophobe's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
