He was so funny in the TV series Coach! If you haven't watched that show then you need to asap. http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/06/entertainment/jerry-van-dyke/index.html
He was also in a John Wayne movie, McLintock! The TV series, Coach, is where he truly shined as a comedian. He and Craig T. Nelson were a fantastic acting duo. He gave me plenty of laughs and made my time as a youngster that more enjoyable. RIP, Jerry.
