I just saw that, too. 

Just had quad bypass surgery earlier this year, too. I knew he was up there, but I didn't realize he was 70. Holy cow.

Rest in peace, little buddy.

That's sad. 

How many of you remember:

Denver also played the title character's beatnik pal, Maynard G. Krebs, on TV's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

 Right Krebs I think was his first TV gig. I work with a guy we nicknamed Krebs. Bye little buddy.

Bob Denver, better known to some as Gilligan of the 60's TV comedy "Gilligans Island" has just died at the age of 70. I guess he's sailing that ol' SS Minnow to that desert island  in the other world. ghe will be sincerely missed.

I remember him too as the beatnik buddy before he was the Little Buddy.

To paraphrase Dickens, It is a far far better place he goes than he has ever gone before . . . .

He will be missed by all who remember him.
