Is it wrong that Todd Bridges, who for awhile was giving Dana Plato a run for her money, is the only one from the main cast who is still alive?
RIP Mr. Drummond

Awww, just watched Different Strokes last night
RIP
I thought he had passed away already.....oops!!!
But RIP.....I remember you from "Maude" too....good comedic actor....
And now he's off to that "Very Special Episode" in the sky.

Can't believe he just about lasted the longest, seeing as how he was oldest on the show. I used to love watching it when I was a kid, until they brought that hideous Sam kid in. I remember the very special episode where Dudley and Arnold are in the molesters apartment. Wasn't that Gordon Jump?
RIP Mr. Bain!
Rest in peace Mr. Drummond.
Super Sad Face... =((((( I always wanted a Super Cracker Daddy like him - especially the rich part!

RIP Mr Drummond
To my Father. Even though you have crossed the plane, you will always be with me.
You were not just my Father, but my hero. My life has been a poor attempt to be like you
You taught me music, vocals, and how to fight. I can only hope I am half the man you are
When I close my eyes I can see you. And finally, Thank you Dad. for everything.

I remember seeing him on someone's 2013 dead pool and going "Gee why didn't I think of him??"
Was he the last of the Maude cast still kicking? Or is Walter still alive? And didn't he have a twin?
Conrad Bain was from Lethbridge, where my grandparents lived when I was growing up. I remember reading that he was instrumental in starting an actor's credit union back when actors were considered a bad risk by the banks.
dang, I hate to hear this! RIP Mr. D!
so sad to hear this....RIP
I'm bummed.
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
Man, I was watching him on an episode of Maude just last night and thinking how cool it was that he was still alive. Oh well.

R.I.P. Mr. Bain.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
Bill Macy (Walter) from Maude is still alive and well, the only one of the four (unless you count Adreinne Barbeau - she would make 5, Maudes daughter, Carol).
Don't forget the two kids that played Carol's son Phillip, not to mention Fred Grandy who played Carol's boyfriend (then Carol's husband?). I remember that Phillip was first played by a blonde, then a brunette, whereas on The Partridge Family the youngest son was first played by a brunette, then a blonde.
As far as I know, the entire Partridge cast is still alive, including Dave Madden (aka Reuben Kincaid).
More useless trivia: I forgot that the actress who now provides the voice of "Mrs. Puff" the driving instructor on Spongebob is still alive, she played one of the maids on Strokes. Much like Marcia Wallace, she found later fame providing her distinctive voice to an animated cartoon.
Oh how I will miss him. Seriously. He was awesome. Loved him on both DS and Maude.
RIP Conrad.

I had to check; Charlotte Rae is still alive too. (That's no small feat, considering that according to IMDB, she battled pancreatic cancer and lived to tell about it. How many people get to do that? Her sister died of the same disease.)
R.I.P. Mr Drummond. You are now with Dixie Carter
Conrad Bain had a recurring role on the old "Dark Shadows" as Mr. Wells, the innkeeper. Well, it recurred over 2 years apart. His final appearance was the character's death at the claws and jaws of the resident werewolf. One of the most gruesome on-screen murders on that series, but made a bit silly by the ridiculous specs Bain had to wear in that episode (which he had not had in the early days and may have been used by another character.)

RIP, he was the first TV dad I remember from my childhood.
I was just reading about him too he said he felt bad he hadn't been able to help his co-stars more as they all seemed troubled .Only the housekeeper and one son left now.
I can't believe I forgot to post a RIP to Mr. Drummond!
It took me a sec to get the Dixie Carter reference- I forgot she was on it. I believe the lady who played their last housekeeper "Pearl"- is still alive- I just saw her on an old Glee episode from about a year or two ago (yes, I watch it- back off haters...)
