Robert Hegyes passes away at age 60
« on: January 26, 2012, 06:12:00 PM »
Robert Hegyes passed away today at age 60. 
For those of you who can't quite place the name, maybe you remember the character he played: Juan Epstein -- full name: Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein -- on the 1970s sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter" from 1975 to 1979. This show also starred "the super-cocky womanizer Vinnie Barbarino (played by a young John Travolta) and hip but beleaguered high school teacher Gabe Kotter (played by Gabe Kaplan)."

RIP Robert, you made a lot of us laugh.

He was the Hispanic-Jewish kid in the class, always showing up with a note to explain why he missed class, the note was signed; "Epsteins mom"

Please excuse little Juan from class from now on. God called him home.
