Alan Thicke passed away at the age of 69. He died of heart attack yesterday. He had been playing hockey with one of his children. Alan was best known to millions for the role of Jason Seaver, a work-at-home-Dad in the 1980s situation comedy Growing Pains. His character exemplified the positive influence a father could have on his kids when placed in the position of primary care provider. As a Dad, Jason Seaver wasn’t perfect, yet he was always present. The audience discovered it wasn’t just the kids who experienced growing pains, it was the entire family.
