I just read an obviously much classier synopsis of the man's life. And he had a tremendous career. Granted I'm of the generation that only knew him from Brady Bunch re-runs. Sounded like a great person. And married to the same woman for 64 years. Take note, young Hollywood, actually young people altogether. That is what you call commitment. They didn't pull a Halle Berry and buy each other what is essentially "friends with benefits" rings. They actually married and worked hard at it. Novel idea.

Kelli: He looks similar to that actor form Wizard but that was actually Bert Lahr.
