And we lost Mary Tyler Moore last year. Who’d’ve thught that Dick Van Dyke would have outlived all three of them?
They must have long life genes in that family?
I always liked the character’s he played.
Could have been Gilligan, and could have been Barney Fife too, IIRC. Very entertaining guy. RIP
I liked him on Coach and on The Middle. The characters were pretty similar, lol.
What ‘role on Gilligan’s Island’ did he turn down? I assume it was the Gilligan role, but the article is not specific.

I liked him as Dick Van Dykes’ stuttering, sleep walking brother on the Dick Van Dyke Show. My mom also reminded me he did a guest appearance on the early Andy Griffith Show.
RIP.

Mary Tyler Moore a year ago, Rose Marie last week, and now his younger brother. I wonder how much longer we’ll have 92-year-old Dick Van Dyke with us? He seems amazingly healthy, spry, and mentally sharp.
He had a quirky and humble way of delivering humor. Something totally missing in today’s entertainment.
The best is during the two-show episode of the Dick Van Dyke show, he is featured
In character, he does a stand up routine. Mary Tyler Moore breaks character to crack up, telling Dick Van Dyke, sitting next to her, hes funny
So what year, make, and model is he coming back as?
RIP Jerry you will be missed!
If you’ve ever seen Jerry Van Dyke’s early career doing stand up and playing the banjo - he was Steve Martin before Steve Martin was Steve Martin! ;)
RIP, Jerry. Thanks for all the laughs.
Very sad. Rest in peace, Mr. Van Dyke.
Best coach episode was when Luther and coach destroyed Christine’s apartment...And it all started with grape juice.....
On an episode of “Coach,” Luther went to a family reunion and complained that he didn’t know anyone there. At precisely that moment, without saying a word, Dick van Dyke walked across the room.
He was on the series Yes Dear.
He did one of his early bits at the end of one show.
He was funny.
Jerry and Dick are from my hometown in Illinois. Also Gene Hackman and Bobby Short - they were friends from our town. We’re proud of them.
