Differnet Strokes has only one cast member alive.....

Hello out there to fans of "Different Strokes" television series,

     Now come on you can tell me if you loved that very late nineteen seventies to mid nineteen eighties series about a rich billionaire who took in two African American boys after their mother who worked for him passed away. The Two kids names were Arnold Jackson played by the late Gary Coleman and his older brother Willis Jackson played by Todd Bridges. I'm sure that most you remember Coleman's famous line when he'd be in big deep trouble. Let's all say it "WhatChoo  Talkin bout Willis?" Well I'm sure that both Arnold and Kimberly Drummond the late Dana Plato will be having their Television series father Phillip Drummond seen here 
,with the three on again off again real life trouble making stars of that series Conrad  Bain whom played Mister Drummond will now be able to really look after them in the place in the clouds known as Heaven. For a very long time I had been thinking on and off again that the person who play that TV character had passed away oh so very long ago. I was thinking like sometime in the early nineties before either of Gary who passed away in 2010 or Dana who went to be with her loving father in May, nineteen ninety nine. I'm sure because of her last days here on earth Bain will find her and give her all the lost love she couldn't find in work or life after Different Strokes ended in 1986 (or at least I 'm thinking he would be?) His real life family consisted of  three sons and one daughter are greatly sadden by their loving father who died of natural causes at the age of eighty nine while in a retirement home in Livermore California, on this past Monday January fourteenth. So it turns out of the one remaining cast member of Different Strokes is Todd Bridges who as I said before play Willis From what I have read of Todd's character right now he says he has always respected Conrad as a father figure fictionally or otherwise...... And as a fan from afar of the series I'd loved to wish all of Conrad dearest fans of such beloved work a fond farewell with love.
