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.
