Charles aka Zoneboy posted the obit on the General Sitcoms Discussion board. May Mr. Wilson :rip:. He was so funny on Bewitched as the drunk. "He carried a big sword just like Richard Burton!!" :rofl:

Seems to me he appeared in several shows "comforting" Darrin in the bar he frequented after a fight with Sam, I can see him in my mind, egg shaped head beady eyes, balding and a little neat mustache......very tame as drunks go!:rip: Mr. Wilson

It would've been a scream had his drunk and Otis Campbell (Andy Griffith Show) met. :rofl:

He was so good at playing drunk, too! He had the walk and slurred speech down pat. Anytime he appeared on Bewitched, you are guaranteed to laugh.
