What a shame. I was sure a fan when I was a kiddo.

He was one of the few that Hwood turned out that seemed to be a real
honest "guy", a hard worker and a gentleman. It's always a sad day
when you lose someone like that on this Earth.

I hope they buried him in a coonskin cap. Unlike many actors, he
embraced the role that defined him, and had a lot of fun (and made a
lot of money!) with the characters.

He was a HUGE hit here in San Antonio when he came to Texas 5 -6 years
ago and presented the Alamo (The Daughters of the Republic of Texas)
with an authentic, flintlock rifle in memory of the Alamo defenders.

Don't make 'em like that anymore.
