Actor Alan Thicke, at age 69

[StevenHW]

The actor of the 80's TV sitcom "Growing Pains" has passed away of a heart attack at age 69. He suffered a heart attack after playing hockey with one of his sons.

He also composed the theme songs for the TV shows, "The Facts Of Life", "Different Strokes", and "Wheel Of Fortune".

I didn't watch "Growing Pains", but I do remember watching some episodes of his short-lived late-night talk-show, "Thicke Of The Night".
