Passed peacefully at his home surrounded by his family on September 16th, 2015 in his 79th year. Beloved husband of Mary Margaret Blacklaws, Loving father of Kevin (Diana), David (Barbara), the late Catherine, Theresa (Michael) McClevarty, John (Lucy Lerra), and Anne (Rick) Jackson.

Does anyone know if the sesaon two premiere will be a one or two hour show?I’ve been watching a few of the OUAT comi-con videos out there on YouTube but I haven’t seen anyone confess if Regina will have her old powers back in sesaon two and how all that magic coming to the real world will work. Anyone have any ideas?
