One of my favorite Brady Bunch characters, Sam the Butcher died on Thursday. You know exactly who I mean don’t ya?

Actor Allan Melvin, best known for his role on The Brady Bunch as Alice’s boyfriend and everyones favorite butcher died in his home in LA. He was 84 years old and die from cancer.

He was always pegged as the sidekick and general buddy in all his roles, which were many. He’s been on Broadway and many television shows including All in the Family as Archie Bunker’s pal and The Phil Rivers Show as Sgt. Bilko’s right hand man according to MSN.

Allan Melvin leaves behind his wife of 64 years (wow!) Amalia and his daughter Jennifer and his grandson Jon Jr. Rest in peace Allan, you’re classic humor will always be in our hearts.
