It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share with you the news our beloved Larry passed away in his sleep overnight. We are shocked and at a loss for words at the moment. Please remember he loved each and every one of you and wouldn’t want you to cry over his passing. He is reunited with his wife Norma and his beloved F Troop cast and so many friends and family.

Might be the only guy to have his name in as big of a font in the credits (bigger?) as Mel Blanc (at Warner Bros animation)     B

And he played a part in one of the more infamous moments on the short-lived but cult-favorite 1978 game show Whew!

I worked with Itzin a number of times in the 80s. He was always interesting, great to work with, and was a part of some of the greatest dressing-room conversations I've ever taken part in.

He'd had some health problems over the past few years, but I texted him the day the Whew! episode re-aired in November. He was surprised they were airing it again. I asked him if the TV he won worked well. "It did! For many years. Now long retired."

I hadn't seen him in person in nearly 40 years, but he was always a welcome presence when he showed up on teevee. Many of the people we worked with in common celebrated him on social media today, and he deserved it. I'll miss him.
