    While he wasn't an A list celebrity I never have read a negative thing about him. A great way to leave this world.

    RIP, Eb.
    He was a "hometown" boy - grew up about 25 miles from me.
    I never could decide if my favorite character on that show was Eb, Mr. Kimble, Mr. Haney or Mr. Ziffle (and Arnold).

    Looking at an old cast photo, I think he was too. Online pics show him wearing his trademark Green Acres outfit to pose with fans. Apparently, he didn't charge for fan pics either. That's class.

    Yes I believe he was the last regular cast member of Green Acres. Eddie Albert, Eva Gabor, Pat Buttram, Frank Cady, Alvy Moore, the actors who played the Ziffels and The Monroe "Brothers" have all passed away. they did do a return to Green Acres reunion movie in 1990 before the deaths of Eva Gabor , Eddie Albert & the others. Tom also appeared on Petticoat Junction & The Beverly Hillbillies as his Eb Dawson character he had crushes on Betty Jo Bradley & Elly Mae Clampett.

    He really was cute in his younger days. I remember him being in love with Elly May.
    The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

    I really like him as Eb, he played that part to perfection. RIP Tom.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    Very true. I so miss old American sitcoms.
