Van Dyke received 4 consecutive Emmy nominations for playing the dim witted assisted coach in the early 90s hit "Coach".
Van Dyke also guest starred in a number of 1960s comedy shows and had a bit part in The Dick Van Dyke show as Rob Petrie's brother.
Van Dyke was 86.

I liked Jerry from the first time I saw him in My Mother The Car. I think he was funnier than his brother and it is unfortunate that he was not offered more roles. Turning down the Gilligan role was a smart move. He couldn't have pulled that one off as well as Bob Denver did. Denver had a similar role as Maynard Krebs in Dobie Gillis.
