To be around him was a gift.
I loved it all.
He brought his heart to everything.”
“He shared his life with us and we were so grateful to be there for him.
He shared his gifts with generations and we are all so lucky.
YourJust Shoot MeTV daughter loves you.”
“I wasn’t sure how that would work and if everyone would be OK with it.
But they were all very welcoming and turned out to be friends for life.”
“George was someone we all really looked up to,” Spade recalled.
“He had done huge movies and was already legendary when we started.
I was always trying to learn from him.
About acting, about life, anything.
He would say that the show was 4 actors and a cartoon.
About a week ago I realized I was the cartoon.
( true) I laughed the hardest with him.
The show was a gift and it kept on giving after we wrapped.
He will be missed by fans all over the world.
Brian Posehn, a.k.a.
“I’ll miss you, sir.
RIP George Segal.”
Segal played the onscreen version of Goldberg’s grandfather.
“By pure fate, I ended up casting the perfect person to play Pops.
Just like my grandfather, George was a kid at heart with a magical spark.
I think these memories say it all…”
