RIP. He was great as Julio (with goat Chico, second only to Aunt Esther as nemesis to Fred Sanford).

OMG! The banter between Fred Sanford and him was classic, 2nd only to Aunt Esther.

Some of the stuff Redd Foxx said then would be cancelled today by the SJWs. There's this later episode of Sanford and Son, like in the mid-70s when the show ran its course, and Redd Foxx is talking about "the drawers" (underwear) worn by this big bearded white guy. I died laughing.

I’m sure he was there. I just don’t remember him.
He looks like many young men did back then, with all the hair, the checkered shirts with wide collar.

Of the Barney Miller cast, that probably leaves Max Gail (Wojo), Linda Lavin (Detective Wentworth in the first season), Barbara Barrie (Elizabeth Miller), and Hal Linden (Barney). Decent show all of it’s years, but that bit better in the era that featured Chano, Fish (Abe Vigoda), Yemana (Jack Soo), and Barney’s wife.

I loved Sanford and Son. We watched it together as a family when I was a kid.

LOL. I never get tired of Sanford. Gut busting comedy gold.

Rollo died within the last couple years. RIP to them all.

I used to love Fred’s friend Grady on the show. Likeable and coy at the same time.

Fred was SO Racist and it was ironically hysterical! :)

Though he used to Destroy Rollo too. :)

I think the son became a preacher. He seemed like a nice guy

His small part in Papillion as an escaped prisoner with McQueen was great.

I think of Aunt Esther every time I see Maxine waters and wonder what Fred would say about her being hit with an ugly stick.

Upon seeing his photo, I remembered him. I watched Sandford & Son and Barney Miller. R.I.P.
