Charles aka Zoneboy posted the obit on the General Sitcoms Discussion board. May Mr. Wilson

. He was so funny on Bewitched as the drunk. "He carried a big sword just like Richard Burton!!"

So sorry to hear that...may he rest in peace

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!

Mr. Wilson

He also appeared on the later Tabitha series as - what else - a drunk.

R.I.P I Loved him in Bewitched very funny.

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

^ They would have had a good time for sure. Sorry to hear about his passing away.

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.

I'll miss him, RIP Mr. Whipple.

How many years did he play Mr. Whipple in those commercials?
