RIP. I enjoyed his performances. Those early seasons pf L&S were favorites in our household.

Squiggy was funny as hell. Loved his cameo in Happy Days too. Made me laugh A LOT.

Rest in peace.

While I was never a big fan of the show(I was far more intrigued by the real life feud between Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall), Lenny and Squiggy were phenomenal characters.

Loved Lenny and the Squigtones

RIP

They were also in “Used Cars”. A kinda underrated movie. Rip David Lander!

Sad news. 73 really isn't all that old. Didn't he have MS or something?

[PNGwynne]

Yes, he was diagnosed in the early '80s.

When I watch the show now, Lenny and Squiggy are the real highlights. Great comic timing and funny lines.” Between the two of them.

I used to wait for Lenny and Squiggy to make their entrance -- that was when things would get really funny.

I really never got into the show, but I did enjoy when Lenny and Squiggy were on, to bad there wasn’t a spin off show of the two of them. Now I want to check eBay and search for the 12” figures of Lenny and Squiggy.

Too sad

I don't know how true this is, but I remember reading back when Laverne & Shirley was still on that they did shoot a Lenny & Squiggy pilot that network was appalled by and rejected.

David Lander wrote some of those early L&S episodes. He was very talented. RIP
