Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.

Denver, who underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year, died at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina, according to agent Mike Eisenstadt. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."

I remember Maynard, although I'm not sure Denver was actually acting in that role....

In any case, RIP.

"Anybody remember Maynard G. Krebbs?"

I have to admit that I remember him. And Dobie and Thalia, too. Never missed a show.

Didn't Bob get busted for receiving weed via FedEx that had been mailed to him from Dawn Wells? She lived in Clearwater, I believe. Anyway RIP.
