Koenig aka Boner from growing pains is dead

This is just so sad .

I really, really hoped it woundn't end this way, but giving away possessions is a big sign of suicidal thoughts. My stepdad committed suicide last March, after a severe brain aneurysm left him disabled. It was very, very hard...and still is hard...on my family.

The loss of a young life is always so sad, especially when it is due to suicide. It must be so hard for these people to see any way out of the deep dark veil that shrouds them.

Interesting name in the title of this thead.

That was the name of his character on Growing Pains- His last name was Stabone. Nobody would know who you meant if you said Andrew Koenig

So sad. I had turned on the t.v. this morning to check the results from the ladies skating when I came across the police constable talking briefly about the find. My thoughts go to his family and friends during this time.

Yup somehow in the 80s one of the major networks okay'd naming a character Boner..........sometimes the censors just aren't up to date. The South Park movie had a really tame name behind it but the censors said no, so they renamed it 'bigger, longer, and uncut' which somehow went over all their heads.

Anyways I'm honestly really sad about what happened to him. I loved Growing Pains. I was hoping somebody would spot him since there are so many in Vancouver right now
