He was the soundtrack to my soul during the 1980s.. Oh wait, I thought we were doing cliche music tributes...

RIP you grumpy looking glorious bastard.

This guy was a staple of my childhood sick days home from school. Couldn't watch daytime TV without Wilford pitching me home delivery of diabetes testing supplies. Bummer.

He was always among those few older looking celebrities that most people probably thought was already gone.

I first remember seeing him in "China Syndrome"

A great part and he did it well.

Yeah my grandmother passed away at 98 six years ago and I think of him as older than her.
