Dies of heart attack at 69. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-alan-thicke-20161213-story.html
I just saw that on Twitter. How sad he just collapsed while playing Hockey with his son, Loved Growing Pains.
Wow, ....the silent killer isn't so silent.... Thicke was definitely in the thick of Tinseltown. Not even talking of the shows he had roles in, which was a career unto its own. His work as a writer, and composer, showed a man of many talents... I had no clue he played hockey, at his age, I'd break in half, if I went down... "Thicke suffered a heart attack while playing hockey with his son Carter, and that one of the last things he said was a compliment to his son on a nice shot". Last thing his Son will ever remember.... now that is sad....very sad...!
