His cause of death was complications of dementia. He was a Bruin.

Hill Street Blues was truly "must see TV" for my volleyball team. We would play our game and rush over to Terri's house to watch. I loved all the characters and the actors who brought them to life. I think it deserved every Emmy it got, and more.
