Actor Will Geer (Grandpa Walton)

[@elizabethhjenkins6172]

He was an amazing human being. A great actor and a great man. They do not make many like him any more. Rest in peace, Will Geer/ Zebulon Walton.

I loved Will Geer as Grandpa Walton on The Waltons! Great interview!

This man (Will Geer) was grandpa to 10 of millions of vieuwers worldwide!

Some of my values in life today came from watching the Waltons when I was much younger.

True for a lot of people

The Dick Van Dyke Show is a great comedy, and The Waltons is a great drama. I like the fact that Will Geer was an amateur botanist who loved flowers. Though I'm not gay, I can certainly appreciate his involvement with horticulture. I help take care of a large flower garden myself, and it sure lifts my spirits. Great shows like The Waltons, Dick Van Dyke, Hogan's Heroes, MASH, The Andy Griffith Show, Mary Tyler Moore, Happy Days, and just plain goofy laughter really DO help us get through the tough times that come our way.

I so loved his character as Grandpa Walton. He was a wise man, enjoyed playful times with his grandchildren, and was also a Southern gentleman. It was amazing to see all that in one character. Rest in Peace Mr. Geer. We have truly lost a treasured actor, but we are fortunate to see his work on The Waltons.

I so agree. I loved his voice like Earl Hamner.

[@docadams7099]

@@22161 I agree too. I also love the voice of Joe Conley, very beautiful. And he made Ike Godsey so memorable. Ronnie Claire Edwards' Corabeth really helped Ike shine.

A great actor

[@docadams7099]

You HAVE to laugh to get through the bad times. It's medicine for heartaches. Great medicine at that.

Oh, Zebulon Walton. When I was young watching The Waltons I thought Granpa was a bit of an old poop, but now I see he was everything. Did i manage to say, "Oh, Zebulon Walton"?

Rest in power great actor

[@22161]

He looked so different till I heard him talk. The things he said and how he said them made my heart feel good as he was in real life like on the screen.

[@MiltonMetzArchive]

He was a sweetheart

[@docadams7099]

The old fool! And I loved how Zeb called Esther "Old woman!"

[@wayneemerson5651]

Zebulon! Loved this old guy on the Waltons, would recognize his voice anywhere!

[@MiltonMetzArchive]

He had a distinctive delivery!

[@stephenrafter1980]

He's fascinating.

Where are these men today?

[@buster1173]

Was he sitting in the pews on the Bishop's wife? Almost at the very end of the movie. It sure looked like him. Maybe he was just a sit in.
