Rest In Peace David Lander “Squiggy”

I’m probably aging myself but I loved Laverne & Shirley growing up and Squiggy was my favorite character. There were several articles but this one spoke best about him, his ms, and family.

He really was a funny guy and the part of Squiggy he played it to a "T" from the article he was involved with getting MS out there thru his book and baseball work.

No one ever says what the MS complications are that kill people.

I often wonder if it’s illness from compromised immune systems due to MS meds

Thank you for this. I read some of it, but I contacted my doctor who says MS does not affect life expectancy if ithere ar no underlying conditions so I’m gonna just go with that :). I like the outcome of that scenario better

Me too! I'll take my chances with life expectancy like everyone else in the world.

His book was one of the first autobiographies that I read that was written by someone with 'ms', Hidden May he rest in peace

Thank you for posting that article. I used to watch Lavern and Shirely, and I knew Squiggy had MS and was an advocate. His early years with the diagnosis was very similar to mine--IV steroids, Beta Seron being all there was. Sad to hear of his passing.
