Found by his partner. Horshack was gay? He kept it very quiet.

I assumed Horshack was going to be break-out star of that show, just like I assumed Madonna was a flash in the pan, and Cindy Lauper was going to be around to stay.

Horshack is very old and respectable name. It means, “The cattle are dying.”

He is the second "Sweathog" to die this year. Robert Heges, who played "Epstein", died in January.
Mr. Woodman, the Vice Principal, was my favorite character on that show. I wonder what he would say if he knew about Arnold and his "partner?"

Makes me think of Scientology and John Revolting.

When Welcome Back Kotter was cancled network TV started its steep decline. Come to think of it, Fonzie jumped the shark about that time.

What business did he have with his partner, and why did it require a 4am check-in? Must have been in the security field or something.
