Among those remembered is John Savident, who brought the beloved Fred Elliott to life in 1994. His portrayal of the bumbling butcher captured hearts until his passing at the age of 86 in February 2024. Similarly, the charming Kenneth Cope, who played Jed Stone, left an indelible mark on the show before his death at 93 in September 2024, following a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
