• Last Man Standing star Robert Forster has died of brain cancer.

• The 78-year-old was remembered by his cast and friends.

The Last Man Standing family is mourning the loss of one of their own.

Robert Forster, who played Tim Allen’s dad, Bud, on the show, has died of brain cancer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 78 years old.

The actor was known for his many roles in TV and movies, the most notable being Jackie Brown, The Descendants, Twin Peaks, and Breaking Bad. The outlet reported that Robert is survived by his longtime partner Denise Grayson; his children, Elizabeth, Bobby, Kate, and Maeghen; and his four grandchildren.

The Last Man Standing cast remembered Robert in a series of tributes on social media.

“So very sad at Roberts passing, he was a gift to me personally and a emotional part of our show,” Tim wrote. “Prayers and condolences to his beautiful wife and family.”

Nancy Travis, who plays Vanessa Baxter on the show, called Robert “A truly gifted actor and one of the loveliest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”

Molly Ephraim, the former Mandy Baxter, also penned a lengthy message about her time with Robert.

“Bob Forster was every bit as kind and warm and generous and present as everyone’s said he was….and then some,” she said. “And sometimes I’d bump into him around town and his laugh was just infectious. Grateful for the honor of having worked with him. And for his signature letter opener.” (Robert reportedly gave silver letter openers to the cast and crew whenever he wrapped a show.)

We’ll miss you Robert. ❤️
