Lark Voorhies' Heartfelt Tribute to Dennis Haskins: Why Fans Are Touched

Saved by the Bell’s Lark Voorhies is the first cast member to react to the death of late costar Dennis Haskins.

“Knowing Dennis Haskins for almost 40 years has been one of the truest blessings of my life, which makes losing him hurt so deeply,” the actress, 52, wrote via Instagram late Monday, September 28.

Voorhies continued, “We shared so much history together from our earliest days, and through it all, he remained a fabulous person, a loyal friend, and someone with such a kind, gentle heart. I am truly heartbroken by his passing and will miss his warmth and laughter more than words can say. Rest in peace, Dennis, you will always hold a special place in my heart.”
