Gunther!!! So sad. I kinda thought he was sick after seeing him in the reunion. He always loved the show and was so proud that i find it odd that he missed it.

RIP.

honestly a legend. when you've been the background character for so long and still manage to steal the scene continuously from these six icons, that's a true talent. RIP

I was legit shocked when he said 'i love you' to her in the finale.

“I thought you were chandler” is so good

I love him

The 'you idiot' is fantastic.

Omg! I didn’t even realize he was sick. How heartbreaking at such a young age. Hopefully is at peace now ❤️

Favorite Gunther moments?

I love when Rachel tells him “when I see a man with hair brother than the sun, I’ll think of you”

His evil smile when Ross goes to punch Joey and hits the lamppost instead, haha

When he speaks Dutch to Ross
