His friend, Mary Ann Halpin, alsoposted about his deathon social media on Thursday.
“He has been my friend since I was 19 years old.
We were in an acting class and were the bad kids in the class.
We sat in the back and giggled…
I will miss his playful and deep conversation, his funny, flirty giggle and twinkling eyes.
He took his last bow and gracefully left us yesterday.”
