RIP. I'm not especially religious, nor do I agree with all his views, but I respect his dedication to his work and calling.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Graham. God bless you for your dedication.

With the passing of Rose Marie late last year and now Nannette Fabray, that leaves -- aside from host Peter Marshall -- Abby Dalton as the only surviving regular from "Squares"' earliest years.

^ Kaye Ballard says hello.

But yes, with Merrill Heatter, Rose Marie, Marty Allen, and now Nanette Fabray passing away recently, these past few months have been rough for fans of the early Squares.

Bill Cosby's daughter Ensa passed away at age 44. Cause unknown, although they say she was awaiting a kidney transplant.

Also a major loss for the disciples of the Disney Renaissance, for which Stiers participated frequently, most notably as the voice of Cogsworth, but also with Governor Radcliffe, Notre Dame's Archdeacon, and Dr. Jookiba to his credit.
