Al Lewis died Friday. He was 83 years old.

Best known for his role as Grandpa in television’s “The Munsters,” Lewis died after a long illness, a local radio station said on Saturday.

A movie Web site listed his age as 95, but there have been reports that he was 83.

Lewis was born in Brooklyn and was raised by his mother, an immigrant sweatshop worker in the Brownsville district of that borough.
