The man who played Arnold Dingfelder Horshack on Welcome Back, Kotter, Ron Palillo, passed away from a heart attack in Palm Beach, Florida. He was 63 years old. He leaves behind his longtime partner, Joseph Gramm. I can't believe we lost another Sweathog! Just a few months ago Robert Hegyes, who played Juan Epstein on the show, died at the age of 60 (also from a heart attack). But Palillo did much more in his life that that squawk out that crazy Horshack laugh on the show. In addition to guest roles on TV shows, Palillo performed on Broadway, wrote a play, taught acting at a Florida high school, and even wrote and illustrated two children's books, The Red Wings of Christmas and A Gift for the Contessa. But as accomplished as he was throughout his life, we'd like to salute him with some of his funniest moments as Horshack.Image may be NSFW.
