- On December 4, 2020, actor David Lander passed away at age 73 from multiple sclerosis, which he had been diagnosed with in 1984.
Lander was best known for his role as Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggman on the Happy Days spin-off Laverne & Shirley, alongside Michael McKean who played Lenny Kosnowski. Lander kept his MS diagnosis on the down-low for years out of fear he would lose roles due to it, but he eventually told all in his 1999 book Falling Down Laughing: How Squiggy Caught Multiple Sclerosis and Didn’t Tell Nobody.
Let’s take a look at the life and tragic death of Laverne & Shirley’s David Lander.

Rest in Peace, David Lander.
R.I.P....!!!!
Can you do one Yvonne De Carlo?
I was a big Happy Days fan in the '70s and followed the spinoff Laverne and Shirley from its premiere. Lander was a funny component of that show's success. I read his book shortly after my own diagnosis and it helped me to cope with things. He had a wonderful life by all appearances. May the Universe rest his soul.
He will be missed...R.I.P Mr. Lander. To his loved ones.. Sorry for your loss.💔😷
I loved David's comedy! I am so sorry to hear of his passing😪. He will be greatly missed. Thank you for many years of laughter! Prayers for the Landers family! 🙏💔🙏
To his family and friends, you all have my sincerest condolences. I am regrettably sorry for your loss.
R. I.P Squiggman you brought so much laughter into our lives, I hope that there’s a big comedy club waiting for you up there.
A hero for sure. You will definitely be remembered for your fantastic comedic ability. Another star to brace the Heavens. God bless his family. RIP
R.I.P to David Lander. He’ll be forever be remembered for his role in Laverne & Shirley and also as Principal Sqiggman in Scary Movie. He will be missed.
That is so sad....hopefully he and his family is at peace.
The 70s were wild and wacky
...great stuff.
We watched this show faithful. It was a great show full of laughter. My condolences to the family.
I was heartbroken when I heard he passed away. I love Laverne and Shirley. I watched every week. I hope Penny and David are Resting in Peace. At least I have the show on DVD so I can watch it anytime I need a good laugh.
Rest In Paradise and Power, Mr. David Lander!!!
Losing Squiggy is the icing on the cake of 2020. What a lousy year now made lousyer! Guess Laverne wanted him Home for Christmas 🎄
You were perfect David, I hope you know that. Still a fan!
He was a good actor. I lived his Hello as he walked into the room with lavern and Shirley. He made me laugh so much. I will miss him
Had many years of laughter because of him,RIP David.A tall man from a short actor
I fully agree! I adored his memoir "Fall Down Laughing: How Squiggy caught MS and Didn't Tell Nobody" I have MS myself (and coincidentally my name is also Cindy Williams) The book really helped me feel better at a dark moment. I did have a similar experience to one of his where people thought I had been drinking, although it was MS causing me to stumble. I had not heard that David had passed. I loved Lenny and the Squiggtones. He will be missed. 😢
RIP David! Thank you for fighting for us all who live with MS!
Terrific character actor, terrific comedian. Loved Lenny and Squiggy. Rest in Love.
Brilliant in his role as Squiggy - just brilliant!
He will be missed⭐
I remember actor David L. Lander from the ABC sitcom TV series Laverne and Shirley. His character as Squiggy . Lander and his costar Doug McKeon from Laverne and Shirley appeared together in the 1981 comedy movie with an all star cast titled, 1941. His career spans from TV to movies for 3 decades. David L. Lander fought a long battle. We all still love you. My favorite actor. David L. Lander 1947 - 2020 R.I.P.
David's costar is Michael McKean - Doug Mckeon is somebody else and has nothing to do with David or Laverne and Shirley.
RIP man I love this show soo much 💔
Watching people who I watched constantly on TV when I was a kid,(yeah thats what we did back then, we didnt have the internet, I still remember when Pong came out) I feel like part of my childhood died. Rest in peace Squiggy, I'll miss you.
Rest in peace Landet prayers for the family and friends
Hilarious team Lenny & Squiggy. My favorite show while growing up "L & S" lotta laughs R.I.P.😊
RIP David...You are still present and making us laugh 🙏😂🙏😂💜💜💜
Laverne &Shirley was one of those few spinoffs that stood on its own. Lenny and Squiggy were the perfect complement to the two stars. Squiggy cracked me up. One of the best comedies of the 70s.
No matter how old a good person is when they pass away, it always seems like they died too young.
Yes he will be missed
Rip David🏠🌹
Rest in Paradise David. 🧡🙏
A brave family man, RIP, thank you for the laughs
RIP, Squiggy!
Time goes by so fast. Rest In Peace all you wonderful funny people
Rest in Peace Mr. Squigmund you were loved.
RIP 🙏💔

David L. Lander played Smarty in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" I've been watching it all day in 2020.
He also played the sports announcer in A League of Their Own. A role where he could sit.
