Academy Award-nominated actor George Segal dies at the age of 87

Academy Award-nominated actor George Segal aka ‘Pops’ of ABC’s The Goldberg’s has passed today due to complications from bypass surgery according to his wife Sonia.

Today we lost a legend. It was a true honor being a small part of George Segal’s amazing legacy. By pure fate, I ended up casting the perfect person to play Pops. Just like my grandfather, George was a kid at heart with a magical spark. I think these memories say it all… pic.twitter.com/D1aNZuT20e
