RIP Wilfred Brimley 😥.
RIP SIR
didnt he die like 15 years ago
I thought the guy must have been 100 years old. 85 no way. However, I loved him in everything I saw him in. But I have to admit I thought he was dead already.
Awww damn I grew up watching him.....times are changing
RIP.
F
Great Actor!
Wilford Brimley R.I.P. 😢
I'll always see him as Harold Smith in Remo Williams. He also made me like oats.
I hate to be cruel, but he's been old forever. Maybe that was his schtick?
RIPWilfordBrimley
Diabeetus finally got him
Huh. Tbh I thought he died some time in the nineties, so now I don't know if I should be happy he didn't or sad because he died.
I loved Wilford in Cocoon, the Natural and very much in Absence of Malice. I already miss him.
Always made me laugh. RIP
.🙏🇺🇸R.I.P. Cowboy 🤠
I thought he’s been dead for years.
Move on

He was only 50 when he was in ‘Cocoon’?!
Just the other day I was watching the movie 'The Firm' in which he starred in.
Beyond the reach of diabeetus at last! I will fondly remember you kicking Tom Cruise's ass in The Firm.
re: Wilford Brimley...RIP coolcat..
Only 85? He was in cocoon playing an 85 year old 20 years ago?
:( fantastic actor, especially in 'the thing' and the diabetes meme.
Too similar a name to Wilfred Bramble to go unmentioned.
nice full age rest in peace...💕😎
I will never forget his appearance on Seinfeld and his Role as William Devasher in the 1993 movie The Firm. He was a brilliant actor. RIP Mr. Brimley.
I kinda thought he already had? Oops.
He brought a lit of smiles to those of us who enjoy the movies. Thank you and RIP Wilford Brimley.
Nooooo! Uncle douvee!!
PattyArquette Oh wow. Was just thinking about him. 😔
To be honest, I didn't know he was still alive! R.i.p. Sir...
RIP. Great actor. Loved him in the Firm, small part, but threatening as hell.
Meelar69 😔

Deadline indeed
Who is gonna remind me about the dangers of Dia-bee-tus? RIP Wilford! You'll be missed.
😔🙏🙏🙏✌
I loved you in your films Gone to God.
He was amazing in 'Absence of Malice' with Paul Newman.
Not Blair!
Used to be a bodyguard for Howard Hughes
No mention that he was once Howard Hughes’ bodyguard, though. 🤔
I hope Cocoon is for real for Wilford Brimley.
Did he die of diabetes 🤭
Did he have dibeediss?
Its the right thing to do
LizDueweke No disrespect but I thought he passed away years ago. Seems like this guy was always an old man. RIP WB!
He did have a tv show in the 1980's called Our House. Deidre Hall was his co-star in that show too.
See you later master chief
My memory of him is from Remo Williams.
ripWilfordBrimley
VORTEXJeff DIABEETIS!
roybelly He's been 85 for 30 years
Absolutely love Brimley as Blair in The Thing. The moment when he's determining the threat of the alien infection on his computer is one of my favorite moments, entirely due to the way he shakes his head. R.I.P.
Who the hell is this man
He was an excellent character actor, with a sharp, ironic delivery. I loved him in 'Absence of Malice'.
Rest in peace Very underrated actor.
From one amazing mustache to another, I’ve always respected and appreciated your work. You, sir, were an artist and are appreciated. God bless.
He was great in the Natural

He played Uncle Douvee in 'Hard Target' (starring Jean-Claude van Damme).
