Wow, I would never have guessed anybody from that cast was even alive.  Dementia sucks, I had a Grandma suffer from that for the last decade or so of her life, it's hard on the relatives, really hard.  My father was her only regular visitor and he took a beating because he looked so much like his father whom she despised...I guess for being a good guy, but my father thought it was important to be there and he did it.

Little fella had a long run, RIP Jerry.
