Oh, I am so sad to hear this. I watch Laverne and Shirley every day (seen each episode more times than I can count but still love this show). He was so great in that show. May he RIP.

Sorry to read this. I know he had dealt with MS for a while.
This was on the MLB site of all places. Did not know much about him, but looks like he was a real baseball fan.
While Lander was best known for playing Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggman on the popular sitcom “Laverne & Shirley,” he also scouted for the Angels and Mariners, briefly owned a Minor League team and had a role as a broadcaster in the 1992 baseball film “A League of Their Own.”
Now he can hang with Penny Marshall again. RIP.

Interestingly, he was on a rerun of the tv show, Barney Miller, tonight.

I am sorry to hear this sad news. I enjoyed his character Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley and I loved him as the announcer in A League of Their Own, one of my favorite baseball movies.
He gave us laughter and that is a gift we all need. May he be at peace with God.
