The former teen idol was 75.

He seemed like a truly nice guy. I always loved his part on “The Rifleman” as Mark McCain, where Chuck Connors (“Old Yeller”) played his widowed father. Good show.

Few knew that he was also a Mouseketeer (only in one season I think) first and a jazz musician much later.

Why is everyone in my childhood dying off. There's got to be a better way.
