    Well, gee, Wally. Sorry to hear that. Leave it to Beaver was part of my childhood. Rest in peace, Tony.

    Now they're reporting that he's still alive, but is in his last days at a hospice.

    Yes. I just went back to the "revised" Wiki page and they took the death date away.

    Wally could raise a few laughs himself:

    (Wally Cleaver) "Gee Dad, how come you know so much about buying cars?"
    (Ward Cleaver) "Well, Wally, as unbelievable as it may seem they did have cars in my younger days."
    (Wally Cleaver) "Used cars?"

    (Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver) "Hey Wally, how come Dad's taking us out to dinner and a show?"
    (Wally Cleaver) "I don't know; I think it's on account of togetherness; like you read about in the magazines. You know, it's supposed to make us a happy family and all that kind of junk."
    (Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver) "Couldn't we be a happy family just eatin' in the kitchen?"
    (Wally Cleaver) "Na, that's no good. Ya' gotta' go out and show people your a happy family."

    (Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver) "Boy, I sure wish there was somebody in the family for me to yell at."
    (Wally Cleaver) "That's your tough luck."

    I think that was a few pages ago.

    Actually, June was little more than a maid in this series. It was always, “Wait til your father gets home”. Ward had to take care of everything. “I don’t know, ask your father”. She was always calling him at work for really simple things. But, I guess it was just the times.

    June also reads what she finds in the boys’ trash can in their room. Amazing.
