Gavin Macleod – 89

Gavin MacLeod rose to fame after portraying Hulagu Khan in the popular movie The Sword of Ali Baba. This was soon followed by another hit film A Man Called Gannon, where he acted as Anthony Franciosa. Macleod never played a good guy in TV and movies for 13 years until  Murray on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. He started thinking of retirement after portraying Captain Merrill Stubing in the hit TV sitcom The Love Boat.

When he stepped back from the limelight, he dedicated most of his time preaching the Gospel and participating in Christian activities. He was the spokesman for “Princess Cruises”. We believe he had his insurance in place in time for his retirement years. In the 2015 Rose Parade, fans of the hit TV series saw him alongside other cast members, which was definitely nostalgic for all their fans.
