RIP To 2 Actors

2 actors today died (and truth be known, I thought they already had died who were on 2 old comedy shows.
From Fox News: The actor who played the child-hating agent on the hit 1970s sitcom "The Partridge Family" has died in Florida. Dave Madden was 82.

His niece Mary Frances Miller says he died Thursday at a hospice center near his home in the Jacksonville area.

Madden was best known for his role as Reuben Kinkaid, who managed the family band and clashed with the precocious pre-teen bassist played by Danny Bonaduce.
Before "The Partridge Family," Madden was part of the comedy ensemble on the "Laugh-In" variety series. He later had a recurring role as a customer at Mel's Diner on the long-running sitcom "Alice."  http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/01/16/partridge-family-actor-dave-madden-dies-at-82/
And the professor died today.
From Fox News:
Actor Russell Johnson, who played The Professor on "Gilligan's Island," has died.

He was 89.

Johnson's agent told Fox News that the actor passed away at his home in Washington State on Thursday morning of natural causes, with his wife and daughter by his side.
Johnson's co-star Dawn Wells, who played Mary Anne on the show, posted on her Facebook page: "My 2 favorite people are now gone. The professor past (sic) away this morning. My heart is broken."
"Russell was a true gentleman, a good father, a great friend, and 'the rest,'" Wells wrote.
Wells and Tina Louise, who played Ginger, are the show's last two surviving cast members.
Johnson starred on "Gilligan's Island," a classic TV comedy about a mismatched set of castaways stranded on a deserted island, from 1964 to 1967.
His character, high school science teacher Roy Hinkley, built generators and other gadgets out of scraps of junk found on the island. Johnson later joked that the one thing The Professor never figured out how to do was to fix the leaky boat so the group could get back to civilization.  http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/01/16/russell-johnson-who-played-professor-on-gilligan-island-dies-at-age-8/
Both were very great character actors on strange shows.
RIP to both guys.
