August 15, 201214 yr 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.
August 15, 201214 yr I was never a fan of his or that show either. But I had no idea he was gay either.
August 15, 201214 yr Active Members 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!
August 16, 201214 yr Active Members 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.
August 16, 201214 yr Active Members Well, if I do remember his birthday next year, at least i will be remembering a gay guy's birthday, not some homophobe's.
