2016 claimed another one. Alan Thicke passed away at 69. Apparently he had a heart attack while playing hockey with his son. The Hollywood Reporter has more HERE.

Od course you know him best from “Growing Pains” but Alan Thicke had quite the music career going as well. He wrot the themes for “Different Strokes,” “The Facts of Life and more.

And who can forget his 80’s hit “Sweaty and Hot.” (I had no idea this existed either.)

RIP to North America’s dad.
