“Sid was loved by everyone,” Butch Patrick continued. “Thank you, my friend, for that one lunch that changed my life.”
Another former child star, Johnny Whitaker, also shared a heartfelt tribute:
“I had the privilege of working closely with this genius and showbiz legend and his brother,” he wrote. “They were very different, but each brought their own style to creating so many unforgettable characters and stories.”
He added, “Sid was the creative force, while Marty handled the business side… Sid, you’ll be deeply missed — my mentor and lifelong friend.”
A legacy that will never fade
In 2018, the Krofft brothers received a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 2020, they were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — a lasting tribute to a career that left a permanent mark on television history
