The 'Happy Days' Cast Reunited at Erin Moran's Memorial Service
The cast of "Happy Days" had a sad reason for getting together on Wednesday.
After Erin Moran died on April 22, the "Happy Days" crew turned out in full force to mourn her. Scott Baio (Chachi), Cathy Silvers (Jenny), Marion Ross (Marion), Anson Williams (Potsie), Ron Howard (Richie), and Don Most (Ralph) all attended the May 3 memorial service of their dearly departed co-star, alongside Moran's other loved ones.
At some point during the event, the cast of the classic sitcom gathered for a bittersweet photo. Baio tweeted it out, highlighting that they were celebrating Moran's life.

Baio was recently the subject of some intense criticism on Twitter after making comments many considered insensitive following his longtime co-star's death at age 56. When asked about possible substance abuse, he seemed to suggest that drugs could have been responsible. However, the coroner later indicated that Moran had Stage IV cancer and likely died from related complications.
Any controversy aside, the cast had a chance to pay tribute to Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham from 1974 to 1984 on both "Happy Days" and its spinoff, "Joanie Loves Chachi."
