It has been a week since we lost the talented actor, Edward Herrmann. As we continue to mourn the TV icon, we remind ourselves of how greatly he touched the American audience through diverse roles in Law & Order, Oz, and Grey's Anatomy. But one character we will have extra difficulty saying goodbye to is Richard Gilmore, beloved TV grandfather. In his memory, here are a few reasons why Richard Gilmore would have been the best grandfather.
Richard knows all the rights questions to ask your boyfriend.
His grandfatherly wisdom and logic are unparalleled.
He understands how to celebrate your successes.
When it comes to proper meal etiquette procedure, no need to look any further.
Richard Gilmore is caring, witty and romantic. He stands as the perfect example for your relationships.
And for pretty much everything else in life, too.
In the end, he will always be there with the perfect words.
For all of us self proclaimed, Gilmore Girls, Richard Gilmore will always live on as a grandfather figurehead. So raise a glass in his honor at Friday night dinner. Rest in peace, Mr. Gilmore.
