Noooooo! I liked him so much. Doggone it.

{googles 'who is jerry van dyke'}

Oh yeah, that guy. I enjoyed him on the TV show Coach

As an old guy, I remember him in “My Mother the Car.” That stupid sitcom basically ruined his career until Coach. Peace and comfort for his family and friends!

I know, but he was great on The Dick Van Dyke Show as Stacy Petrie , Rob's brother. My Mother the Car was baaaad.

Fun actor. I'm glad he was able to live a long life.

R.I.P.

^^^Ditto this.

Damn! He was SO funny in that TV show, ‘Coach.’

Once BYU was considering various entertainers to have perform on
campus. One of them was Dick Van Dyke. During the meeting when
his name came up, one of the suits objected saying, "Didn't he
just go through a divorce?" It was determined that it wasn't
Dick van Dyke who had gone through a divorce but his brother
Jerry Van Dyke.

Although, I don't believe Dick Van Dyke was finally chosen, Jerry
Van Dyke would have been blackballed for having been divorced.

[Edit: My source for this is a relative of mine who was in the
meeting.]

Just saw the movie "McClintock" and he was good as the boyfriend to Stephanie Powers.

Both Dick Van Dyke and Jerry Van Dyke were divorces.

Trivia: Jerry and Dick Van Dyke, Gene Hackman and Donald O'Connor were all raised in Danville, ILLINOIS during the same era. Danville is a struggling midwestern town today but back then it was thriving and many people moved there during the depression for jobs.
