He made it!

And still moving around pretty well for his age, still has his wits about him! One of my all time favorite comedians. Most memorable for the Dick Van Dyke Show, that will always be a timeless classic of a show.

… and somehow didn’t snag it, but in essence, it suggested we should all trip over an ottoman to celebrate.

He was definitely a frontrunner in modeling a real husband and father in an era where “manliness” was not so gentle. Happy bday, Dick!
