In a statement to RumorFix, Tina says, “I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Russell Johnson. My prayers and condolences go out to his wife Constance and his family. He will always be in our hearts and remembered as part of American pop culture history as “Gilligan’s Island” lives on through ME TV and TV Land. He will be missed.”
