Pat Harrington Jr., best known for playing the role of Dwayne Schneider on One Day At a Time, died Wednesday night. He was 86.
"Dear Friends, it is with the most unimaginable pain and sadness, that I tell you my father, Pat Harrington, Jr. passed away at 11:09 PM this evening," his daughter, Tresa Harrington, announced on her Facebook following her father's passing. "We were all with him today and tonight: crying, laughing and loving him. This is the single most heartwrenching and physically painful thing I've ever had to endure."
"I know many of you have lost parents and loved ones, and now I know what it's like to feel the kind of sadness and void that will never be filled but only softened with the passing of time," she continued. "My heart is broken to pieces and I will cry and cry until I just won't. Love to you all! And as we head into this year, never be afraid to tell the people you love, that you love them."
