Florence Henderson said, "I did the 1999 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and I must have heard The Brady Bunch theme song 30 times - every block a group of parade watchers would start singing it. He will live on a long, long time for that song. Over the years he remained a very dear person - one of the nicer people in our business."
