"Leave It To Beaver" actor Tony Dow, who played Wally Cleaver in the popular sitcom, died following a battle with cancer, his manager Frank Bilotta confirmed to USA TODAY on Wednesday. He was 77.
"We have received confirmation from Christopher, Tony’s son, that Tony passed away earlier this morning, with his loving family at his side to see him through this journey," a post from Dow's official Facebook page read. "We know that the world is collectively saddened by the loss of this incredible man. He gave so much to us all and was loved by so many."
Dow's son said he has "comfort and peace that he is in a better place."
Wally Cleaver was my favourite character on "Leave It To Beaver'. I had a crush on Tony Dow. The world is poorer now that he has gone. "Gee, Wally... I'll miss you."
