Friends honor everyone’s favorite TV principal: Mr. Belding of ‘Saved by the Bell’

Friends and fans alike have rushed to honor the man they knew as Richard Belding, the principal on the hit 1990s teen sitcom “Saved by the Bell.”

Actor Dennis Haskins, best known for playing Mr. Belding from “Good Morning, Miss Bliss” in 1988 all the way through “Saved by the Bell: The New Class” in 2000, passed away on Sunday in Burbank, California. He was 75 and had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for the past eight years, the New York Times reported.

‘Dennis was the biggest kid on the SBTB set. If you knew him, you loved him.’

Fellow “SBTB” cast members took to social media to remember their friend.
