Costar Grant Goodeve told PEOPLE that spending time with Rich “inspired” him to consider fatherhood.

“During the Christmas week of 1977, my wife Debbie and I took Adam back to our family homes in Vermont,” he explained. “We had a great time and he was big hit with all our family and friends!” he says. “We also taught him to ski, which he picked up very quickly. We were so inspired by our time with Adam that Debbie and I decided we wanted to have children and we were married the next spring.”

Betty Buckley, Adam Rich’s on-screen stepmother, also paid tribute on Instagram, writing,  “Adam Rich was a light and my young pal for the four seasons I was blessed to work with him on Eight Is Enough. I adored him and loved working with him in our scenes together on the show. He was so sweet, funny, fresh and natural. He brought a lot of joy to all of us on the show and to our audiences. Adam and I have remained friends all of these years. His love and support have always meant a lot to me.”
