The Waltons - Season 9 Episodes 1&2 - THE OUTRAGE
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (64) born January 30, 1882, Hyde Park, New York and died April 12, 1945, Warm Springs, Georgia, is remembered in this episode as a man who loved all the people and its one of the only episodes where the good nights are not said by the family.
"The train bearing the body of Franklin Delano Roosevelt moved slowly from Warm Springs, Georgia toward the nations capitol. Where ever it went, the people who loved him gathered to mark its passing, remembering the man who led the nation out of its most crippling depression and toward victory in its greatest war. Planting seeds of brotherhood along the way...when it passed through Charlottesville my family was there to pay their last respects " - Earl Hamner Jr.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commonly known by his initials FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States. He served for 12 years and four terms, and was the only president ever to serve more than eight years. - Wikipedia
*Ralph Waite passed away yesterday February 13th, 2014. I like to think that Will Geer (Grandpa) and Ellen Corby (Grandma) and all the rest of the late cast and crew members were there with his own family to welcome him home. Goodnight, Mr. Waite.
Here are a few comments from the cast of the Waltons and Earl Hamner Jr. (writer, creator, the real John Boy)
"I have just learned that we have lost Ralph Waite. This sudden news is shocking and heartbreaking. Ralph's portrayal of my father on "The Waltons" was so true, so genuine and so close to the real man that it is like losing my father all over again. Actors have great gifts to give and his gift to me was an image of my father that I will cherish always. Thank you, Ralph and Good Night." - Earl Hamner Jr.
"Ralph was a good honest actor and a good honest man, He was my spiritual husband. We loved each other for over 40 years. He died a working actor at the top of his game. He was a loving mentor to many and a role model to an entire generation. I'm devastated. - Michael Learned (Olivia Walton)
I'm a little emotional right now. It's such a shock. I don't think people realized the skill behind what he was doing. He had such a great heart. ... Ralph had suffered a lot of great tragedy in his life, but he always overcame it and was there for everyone. I just will miss him terribly. We were kind of like a celibate husband and wife. We never crossed that line, but we were dear, loving friends." - Michael Learned (Olivia Walton)
"I loved Ralph very much. He was a fine and funny man with great social consciousness and a big heart. And he was one of the most uncompromisingly honest men and actors I've ever known - a great example for a younger performer. Goodnight, Daddy. - Richard Thomas (John Boy)
"There are no words to express the loss of Ralph Waite. My friend, my co-worker, my "Daddy". You will forever live on in my heart and in the lives of all you have touched over your lifetime. We are lucky to have known you. R.I.P - good night. - Judy Norton (Mary Ellen Walton)
"The Waltons cast were all together for a lovely evening at Michael Learned's house in November. It was great for all of us to reconnect. Before Ralph left the party, he asked each of us what we were up to and if we were happy. I don't know if he knew this would be the last time we would see each other but I'm so glad we had the chance to spend this time together. R.I.P. Ralph Waite. ;( - Jon Walmsley (Jason Walton)
"Sad news to share. .. Ralph Waite passed away today. I will miss my other daddy. Good night Ralph." - Eric Scott (Ben Walton)
Someone asked me to post this again. Ray Castro put this tribute together. - Kami Cotler (Elizabeth Walton) • In Memory of The Walto...
