Sad to hear this. My kids loved that show. They were thrilled to see Stefansson in person in a stage production of “How the Grinch...” just a few years ago (as the Grinch, obviously).

 

That sucks. I enjoyed him as a kid, best part of that show by far.

 

What sad news.

I still can remember his quirky character.

 

Very sad. My daughter used to love the show. RIP
