Granpa Munster Dies

Many of you may not remember the TV show, "The Munsters" which was popular in the sixties; and even fewer of you will recall "Car 54, Where Are You"; so you may not recognize the name Al Lewis. He is best know for his roles as Grandpa Munster and Officer Leo Schnauser.

Lewis died after a long illness. His age has been reported as 82, 83 and even 95, so I'm not really sure how old he was. He is survived by his wife, Karen and three sons as well as four grandchildren.

The sixties was a GREAT time for TV and Al Lewis was one of the GREATS! He will be missed. (Photo from the Associated Press.)
