Scott Baio attends memorial for Erin Moran

"Members of the Happy Days clan who attended the service were Scott Baio (Chachi), Cathy Silvers (Jenny Piccalo), Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham), Anson Williams (Potsie), Ron Howard (Richie), and Don Most (Ralph). They all got together for a group photo, which is sure to give viewers a shot of nostalgia.

Baio was one of the cast members to share the photo on social media. "

Or at least that was her name when she was on the show. I think she's Phil Silvers' daughter. She played Joanie's friend Jenny Piccalo.

Not only is she Phil Silver's daughter in real life, he played her characters' dad on Happy Days-and it was a nice thing for them to give him the job, because he had suffered a stroke several years before that.

When I die, I want them to just throw me in the landfill, but I found out that it is illegal. (Darn funeral business lobby)

I would want the guests to be comfortable.

As long as you are declared legally dead before the service and there was no foul play in your demise.

Here's a guy who is about as "A" list as it gets, who could've made any number of excuses, some perhaps quite legitimate, not to attend. But he did attend, as did a number of other familiar cast members.

Ron Howard in all the interviews I've ever seen him always comes across as such a genuinely nice and kind person, very humble, and someone who does not act like a Hollywood big shot. Not that he couldn't, cuz he's a major Hollywood big shot.

Great guy, good for him. And good for everyone else who attended from the old Happy Days gang. Scott Baio included? Hard to criticize someone who attends a former girlfriend's memorial service. Even if he is a right wing a**hole.

He's been in a Twitter war with Erin's family for the past week over those comments.
