The Anniversary of Hugh Beaumont's Death

[frani]

Is it May 16? I had a feeling it was.

Actually, I just looked it up on his bio. It was May 14, 1982. Rest in peace, Hugh Beaumont. We still love you.

Yes, we do still love you, as will many generations into the future. You were, and still are, the greatest of the TV fathers. Rest in peace, Hugh.

Rest in Peace, Hugh.

I read recently that Hugh was age 48 when Leaver to Beaver went on the air in Oct of 1957 and Barbara was age 32. He died the date of my dad's death. My dad died on May 14 1997. I also read Frank Sinatra died on May 14 1998. A lot of people share calendar dates.

sorry to say this but i thought Old blue eyes died in 2000 or 01

No, Frank Sinatra died on May 14, 1998. I remember that because it's the same night of the last Seinfeld. I know it's a weird connection, but that's how I remembered.

You're right. I remember this as well. I remember being in work the following day, Friday, and the place was buzzing about Frank Sinatra's death and Seinfeld's swan song.
I recall later reading an article which stated that Nancy Sinatra was planning on visiting her father but opted to stay home and watch Seinfeld's finale instead, a decision she would later regret.
Strikes me as strange, considering her father must have had about 50 TV sets, but I did read it.
