R.I.P. Ron Glass, of "Barney Miller" and "Firefly"

[ClarkKent_DC]

From Variety: "Ron Glass, Emmy-Nominated Actor Known for ‘Barney Miller’ and 'Firefly,' Dies at 71"

Hearing this -- after all that's happened this year, including losing Barney Miller co-star Abe Vigoda, Prince, David Bowie, Garry Shandling, Alan Young, James Noble, Robert Vaughn and others -- makes me want to crawl in a hole and not come out until 2020. 

[Richard Willis]

Sorry to hear that. I loved his work.

[Captain Comics]

Wow, I always think of him as "the young guy." I mean, you expect Abe Vigoda. This is a shock.
