Actress Barbara Billingsley,best known as the ideal wife,mother,and stay at home mom June Cleaver has passed away at age 94. Her sweet,kind,and compassionate nature endeared Ms.Billingsley to millions around the world. While Ward Cleaver (Hugh Beaumont) was good at dispensing advice and wisdom to his sons Wallace (Wally,played by Tony Dow) and Theodore (Beaver,played by Jerry Mathers), June brought love and warmth to the Cleaver home. June and Ward always set their sons straight and raised them with solid values and were understanding whenever Wally or Beaver got into trouble but also knew to discipline their sons. I still watch "Leave It To Beaver" reruns wherever and whenever I find them. The timeless values and quality of this show are needed more than ever. Rest in peace,Ms.Billingsley,and thanks for all the warm and wonderful memories.

Best known as Howard Cunningham,husband of Marion Cunningham (Marion Ross) and father of Richie (Ron Howard) and Joanie (Erin Moran) on "Happy Days", he also had a recurring role on the series "Murder,She Wrote" and starred as a crime-solving priest on "The Father Dowling Mysteries". Rest in peace,Mr.Bosley,and thanks for all the happiness you gave us.
