Actor Conrad Bain, best known as the loving adoptive father of two young boys on the iconic 80′s television series Diff’rent Strokes, passed away yesterday. He was 89 years old.

Bain’s family says he died in a retirement community from natural causes.

“He was an amazing person. He was a lot like [his character] Mr. Drummond”, said he daughter Jennifer, “but much more interesting in real life. He was an amazing father.”

In real life, Bain is survived by his four children (three sons and Jennifer). In television life, he will be remembered forever.

Rest always, Mr. Bain.
