First Peter, then Doris, Georgia and now Fred. Heaven is full of the most wonderful people. Fred was such a master of his craft, and though we will miss him, I’m so happy is has joined his lovely wife Mary. #ripfredwillard https://t.co/kZrL5h7fGT

His timing and expression when @RealBradGarrett’s Robert asked his permission to marry @MHoranRosenthal’s Amy - “.....No...” I’ll always remember him for that scene! RIP Fred ❤️
