Aloha, Gilligan, May you R.I.P.

Bob Denver passed away Tuesday of cancer. He was one of West Virginia's gifts to the world. I'm sure he never dreamed he would shake loose from his role as Maynard G. Krebs, the bearded beatnik in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." Denver's name was tied to the Gilligan character for the rest of his life.

Sail on, Little Buddy. Have a toke for me.

"Good Stuff Maynard." Granted I never saw either show during their original runs, I was fortunate enough to see them in re-runs and on Nick At Nite to appreciate Denver's comedic acting and talent.
