Gary Coleman has died as the result of a brain hemorrhage he suffered after a fall earlier this week. Gary’s wife, Shannon, made the decision to pull life support earlier this morning. Gary is best known for his role as Arnold Coleman in the popular 80’s sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes. There will be a press conference at the hospital at 3:00 PM PT. Gary was 42.
I like to remember Gary by mentioning a quote from Diff’rent Strokes:
Arnold Jackson: “Be careful with my goldfish. His name’s Abraham.”
Philip Drummond (Adoptive dad): “I’ve never seen a black goldfish before.”
Arnold Jackson: “That’s okay. He never saw a rich white man before either.”

Sorry to see him go at such an early age
