And we lost Mary Tyler Moore last year. Who’d’ve thught that Dick Van Dyke would have outlived all three of them?

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.

Andy Griffith always thought highly of him. He says he was better than his brother. I could never see that myself.

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, “he’s funny”

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.

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.
