Born September 27, 1934, Brimley won the hearts of movie audiences everywhere with his bushy mustache and avuncular charm. After all of those Quaker Oats commercials under his belt, we thought he'd live forever. If dead, he would be survived by a wife and three sons, whose names we could not find in a Web search. Though a known victim of adult-onset diabetes, Brimley was reportedly healthy at press time, which makes his possible death that much more shocking.
