Emmy Award-winning director Peter Baldwin has died. He was 86.

His children Eleonora and Drew revealed the news on Facebook, accompanied by a photo taken with their dad before his death. "So glad we all got to share this last moment together. Dad, I love you. May you rest In peace," Drew wrote.

Peter made a name for himself as the director of beloved TV shows including The Dick Van Dyke Show, which launched his career; The Mary Tyler Moore Show; The Andy Griffith Show; The Brady Bunch; Sanford and Son; The Doris Day Show and The Partridge Family. In his later years, he also directed episodes of Blossom, Sister, Sister; Even Stevens; and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

Nominated three times, Baldwin won his first and only Emmy in 1989 for The Wonder Years.

He also directed one of the funniest first season episodes of "NewsRadio." Looking at his imdb page, I see he's got a lot of credits that I'd say place him right alongside James Burrows as one of the greatest sitcom directors. May he rest in peace.
