not everyone jumps on twitter when their loved ones or friends die.

Cause Willy had an ego the size of fort knox back then. He got the original mother kicked off the show, and probably secretly didn’t give a shit about the other cast members. Sadly, his wife issued a statement before he did.
RIP James.
