Actor Tony Dow, who played Wally Cleaver on the popular television sitcom, has died at age 77 after a battle with cancer.
RELATED:
On the hit sitcom “Leave It to Beaver,” which aired on CBS and then ABC from 1957-63, Wally was the older son of Ward and June, a straighter contrast to the quirkier main character of Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver (Jerry Mathers). A popular jock, Wally was also ensnared in the schemes of his friend, the mischievous and smooth-talking Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond).

This old coger gonna miss you Wally. Condolences to Tony's family and loved ones
What an icon. I enjoyed seeing him. I will greatly miss him.
Please know that Jesus Loves You, even though we are all sinners, every single one of us. Have you ever lied (even once)? Ever stolen anything ? If you said yes to those two questions you are a lying thief, and that’s only two of the Ten Commandments. How will you do on Judgment Day? You know that you will be guilty. "For the wages of sin is death” (we are all on our way to hell, forever). God does NOT want us to end up in Hell, a place of eternal torment and suffering (Not parties). We can all have eternal life on the new, perfect earth with no pain and no suffering forever. "Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus took our punishment for our sins. This is a FREE gift. For those of you who wish to continue to deny God, "Since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Our time is short. We are living in the End Times and He will be back soon. Jesus Saves and ONLY Jesus.
A sad day…but his pain is now gone. 😞
The amount of verified information you bring is tremendous.. <Bitcoin continues its wild swings between $19-21.5K the market dynamics of the last few days indicate that the whales are making some big transfers of bitcoin from one pocket to another. <Either this is an attitude of speculation in the range or whipping up froth to attract capital from retail investors who may feel that the low point has been passed. <Additionally, the 2022 volume profile is very thin, between $32-$37k if bulls want to send a message to the market that a new uptrend is about to begin, then they will need to push Bitcoin price to a daily close near $44k. <Macro factors are demanding further downside, as the impact of inflation and geopolitical strife is clearly felt on equities markets. Until BTC reclaims the key moving averages these are considered distribution rallies used to sell the rip or add to short positions…But whatever you lose in a macro downtrend, you'll gain multiples back in a macro uptrend. All you have to do is pay attention to the markets when they are ultra bearish. Everyone was super bullish on the markets, but now the markets start to correct, and the fear takes over, as retail trader at these volatile times I keep profiting regardless using accurate trade signals from Randy Philip my portfolio have been on a rise although the rates are capricious wiping out some of my profits i still have about 9.14' btc! worth of crypto assets. <There might be so many investments out there but if profits must be considered, which is actually the sole aim of every Investment then I’ll advice you to go into crypto tradiing because it has higher profit returns. You can reach out to Mr Randy on <ͲeIєɠɾαm his personal handle is @Randy_philip,** >>>What'sapp +44 (7897) 058026……><< for any crypto related issues.
That sucks. Miss you Wally.

My Hero RIP Tony Dow ..!
Yay . . . Tony Dow is dead! Dead, dead, dead!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I like it when people die, especially popular ones that make cyberspace numb-nuts wax philosophic. So go to it, you wazoos – he's still gonna be dead. Dead, dead, dead!!!
Tony hung on one more day, God Bless Him. I watched Leave It To Beaver when I was little and it's still on every morning. I've been a fan for 60 years. God be with your family and your forever Brother "the Beav" Love you Wally and will miss you.
RATS! I'm sorry for his family, sorry for ME! ❤️🙏
Of course, most of didn't personally know Tony Dow. But with so many interviews especially later in life, you almost feel like you do. I guess he had his share of problems such as depression. But it seems he had a wonderful relationship with his wife. And was also a rather centered person in spite of fame. It's hard not to think of him as "Wally Cleaver". But of course, he was much more than that.
It has been a merry-go-round of emotion with the unverified reporting of news in a day! Tony was the most hands on artistic being to know, with the most beautiful piercing eyes that met you at your soul. He was also selflessly a helping hand to all! Generosity was easy for him, & was synonymous with his nature. He will surely be missed for his great giving of time & love.
Tony triumphed through much, & I'm sure he was ready to go & release the anguish of this world. Heartfelt condolences to Lauren, Chris, Melissa & the entirety of the fam, & anyone & everyone in & out of the Industry that ever had an instance of an encounter with this magnificent being. You'll always be big brother Wally to me! 😥 Now you've left The Beav to fend for himself!
Anthony Lee Dow; April 13, 1945 – July 27, 2022
Rest Peacefully Handsome One 💘 ✝ 🕊🌹
Still watch the show every morning before work. Classic. Simpler times. They were all great on that show. RIP.
This was so, so sad, people were posting, before he even died.,,his poor wife, bless her
Leave it to Beaver (1957 – 1963) a popular black-and-white sitcom with no blacks and plenty of whites – with the occasional Hispanic actor. My kind of TV. May it RIP.
Because of a lack of role models, society has degraded significantly over many decades since that time ⏲️
Aww so sad loved watching him may be Rest In Peace❤️
Wally has left the bldg RIP
