Frank Parker, best known to soap fans for his long-running role as DAYS’s Grandpa Shawn, the patriarch of the Brady family, which he played from 1983-2008, passed away on September 16 at the age of 79, from complications of Parkinson’s and dementia. A Pennsylvania native, Parker is survived by his wife, Mary, and two daughters. “I so enjoyed spending time with this man,” Wally Kurth (Justin, DAYS) wrote on Twitter. “He was a natural actor. Very believable – with a twinkle in his eye that matched his Irish brogue.”
