Actor Al Molinaro , aka Big Al Delvecchio  from "Happy Days," died Friday at Verdugo Hills Hospital  in Glendale, California. He was 96.

The actor's son, Michael Molinaro , said his father suffered from complications of a gallstone ailment, according to TMZ. The gallbladder reportedly wasn't removed  due to Molinaro's age, CNN reported.

During his acting career, Molinaro appeared in a variety of projects, including "The Odd Couple" and "The Family Man," but the Kenosha, Wisconsin, native is perhaps best known as the affable cook at the "Happy Days " hangout spot, Arnold's. He also played the role on the spinoff show "Joanie Loves Chachi."

Molinaro is survived by his wife and son. We'll miss you, Al.

Yep-yep-yep-yep-yep.
