deaths of a swinger and a stalker...

Left: The Night Stalker in full regalia (no he's not the funny man nor the would-be swinger...)
A funny man and a serious thespian both passed away on the very same day. And, just like that, we have lost the funniest landlord (who was also the funniest deputy sheriff, first and foremost; but I knew him originally as the colorful Mr. Furley indeed...) and the greatest night stalker of all (much better than his successor to the mantle and an inspiration to anyone who wants to get to the truth - and expose the culprits lurking among us!)
Don Knotts... Darren McGavin...
Once more, the likes of you will not be seen again.
More talents that shall never be replaced.
Mr. Knotts will have the greatest of audiences now - a heavenly one!
Mr. McGavin will now meet the Source of the truth that he portrayed a champion of so convincingly on the small screen.
May THEY pray for US... who are left behind!
