Here is an updated photo of the guys. Lumpy, The Beav, Wally and Eddie. The two people at each end is unknown.

Hopefully he'll get to still watch Captain Kangaroo and read comic books.

RIP

I think the guy on the right is Richard Correll who played Richard.

Yes! I think you're right! Thanks! Maybe the guy on the left is a producer or something?

The photo was taken in 2010 at a LITB reunion.

RIP Frank Bank,

Heard that he got out of acting because of being typecast as Lumpy, and went into financial advising--Jerry Mathers and other LITB cast members became some of his clients.

Great character, great show!

Good actor and a good man. He'll be missed. Will be watching my future LITB eps with The Lump in them with a certain tenderness. May he rest in peace.

You could have wrote this on another thread, not one showing respect for a person passing away.
