McGrath wrapped his last episode, titled “Having a Ball,” in 2017.  

He didn’t limit himself to television, though, and McGrath found success on the silver screen with roles in “Follow that Bird” and “3:10 to Yuma.”

Bob was also known for his voice, and sang on many “Sesame Street” soundtracks, including the songs “People in Your Neighborhood,” “Sing a Song,” and “If You’re Happy And You Know It.” 

McGrath is survived by wife Ann Logan Sperry and five children, in addition to his grandchildren.
