BREAKING: Earlier today, we posted this story Star Still Alive. It is now being reported that actor Tony Dow has passed away.
At Comic Con Rhode Island last year, imagine my surprise when my 80’s 90’s pop cultured wife Heidi, (pictured above) stopped in her tracks when she saw, OH MY GOD, Tony Dow! Yes, star still alive, Tony Dow, who played Wally on the iconic Leave It To Beaver television show was standing before me and star struck Heidi.

Why, should be the next logical question you ask, would an 80’s 90’s centered person, care about SIXTIES pop culture? I mean look at her. She’s NOT from the 1960’s or 1970’s. Well, I could blame Heidi’s Dad, another Tony, who inoculated Heidi at a young age with EVERYTHING 60’s, 70’s 80’s pop culture.

Heidi has this weird power. No matter where we go, she seems to bump in to celebrities. Waiting for a train, she literally walked in to actor Brian Dennehy at a New York train station. Then AGAIN at the Red Robin in Worcester. Also, while in New York, getting out of a cab, the car stopped at the EXACT spot where Law and Order star Richard Beltzer, just happened to be standing. While leaving a show in Rhode Island, on our way to our car, Heidi bumped into the STAR of the show, William Petersen, of CSI: Crime Investigation having a smoke next to the dumpster behind the venue. The list goes on.
Tony Dow
Getting serious, we all saw the news yesterday of the reported passing of TV’s Tony Dow, who was diagnosed in May with a form of cancer. Almost immediately after, that story was revised, from Dow’s wife saying, basically that her husband is still in fact, ALIVE. We are reading that the 77 year old Tony, passed away today. We send his family, friends and fans much love during this hard time.
