Fess Parker Passed Away

[Feralpeg]

Fess Parker has died at the age of 85. During my childhood, he brought me many hours of enjoyment. I was a major fan of Davey Crocket and later, Daniel Boone. RIP Fess.

I loved my coonskin cap from Frontierland as a kid.

RIP Fess. You'll always be Davy to me.

Seemed like a great gentleman. He also made some excellent wines.

For all boys born between 1950 & 1960.....Fess was THE MAN.


Thanks to Disney, he'll live forever. RIP.

He was also in The Great Locomotive Chase and Westward Ho the Wagons.
Glad that I saw it all in "real time" and not re-runs. Had my coonskin cap for a # of years in the 50's.
He was a fine man and will be missed.
