Obit watch: July 13, 2021.

Charlie Robinson, actor.

We have “Night Court” on sometimes on Saturday mornings when we’re getting ready for excursions. That was a swell show, and not just because of Harry Anderson or John Larroquette: everybody is great in it. Including Mr. Robinson.

Among other credits, he was in “Gray Lady Down”. (Which, sadly, we have watched recently, so no tribute night.)

Paul “Mr. Wonderful” Orndorff, professional wrestler.

He participated in the first WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden in March 1985 in a fight with Roddy Piper against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T., according to WWE. Mr. Hogan and Mr. T won the fight. The next year, Mr. Orndorff fought against Mr. Hogan in an event that drew more than 60,000 spectators to Canadian National Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, which Mr. Hogan won by disqualification.

Lawrence sent over a more local obit for Henry Parham.
