RIP Fess Parker

[Standard]

He'll be sorely missed.

[Lallans]

A great actor. He embodied a depiction of history that it seems won't be seen again anytime soon- if ever. You know, where not everyone in western history was evil. He helped me be a better citizen and for that I thank him.

And James Andrews of The Great Locomotive Chase.

Indeed. Hadn't thought about him in years but now I find myself a bit sad. Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone were childhood heroes of mine because of him. (Well and the Disney Corporate Machine.)

I'm old enough that I always thought of him as Davy Croket masquerading as Daniel Boone.

I think it a fine thing to go to your grave both well remembered and regreted. My memories are all good.

Actually was able to enjoy a glass of his wine with him at Disney a few years ago. He was TALL smiling and having a great life. Charming fellow.

Sorry to here it. For me, he was Davey Crockett. I can still remember him biting that lead rifle ball.
