LOLz, Jim

And another one leaves us. Freakin' sad.

My dad once told me that it was a terrible feeling to see all your friends, favorite singers and actors die off one at a time. Kinda puts you in touch with your own existence.

I forget.Who played Chester???.Wasn't there a Fester too??.

One funny line I remember to this day was Matt asking Chester about cleaning the coffee pot.He said "no sir,everytime I make another pot it tastes better".

Dennis Weaver played Chester. Festus was played by Ken Curtis. Uncle Fester was played by Jackie Coogan (The Addams Family). All have gone on to their respective rewards.
