Following the news of the veteran actor's passing, many celebrities took to social media to express their heartache.
Ed Asner, who co-starred with Gavin on The Marry Tyler Moore Show, shared on Twitter, "My heart is broken. Gavin was my brother, my partner in crime (and food) and my comic conspirator. I will see you in a bit Gavin. Tell the gang I will see them in a bit. Betty! It's just you and me now."
"As a 70's/80's kid, I spent many a Saturday night with my Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister watching LOVE BOAT," director Kevin Smith wrote. "So I was unexpectedly sad to see Gavin MacLeod has cruised on to that Puerto Vallarta in the sky! Thanks for the many memories, Captain Stubing - here and at WJM-TV!"
The Brady Bunch star, Maureen McCormick, added,
Rest In Peace my dear friend Gavin Macleod Thank you for all the special and beautiful heart filled conversations about life. I will always treasure the time I was lucky enough to spend with you. Love you.
