I loved this.. I have such special memories of Walker - he was my Dad's best friend and my Godfather :)

Odyssey isn't the same without him and Hal.

I used to watch his show when I was a very young kid ... I thought the puppets were real ! There was one puppet , a cat , who's name I think was Calico , who had a pet rock named " Ralph " ! I think this makes Walker the inventor of the pet rock ! What great memories of a very talented man !

[ScarlettHarlott]

Walker was a dear friend of mine and I miss him SO MUCH.

Walker Edmundson was an important part of early Los Angeles TV. As a kid I loved watching all of his shows. He had some great puppets. I think he was part of the fantasic Beany and Cecil puppet show? Is that correct?

[LowellV100]

@rowbyrowby "Time For Beany" was on KTLA and featured Daws Butler, Stan Freberg and Bob Clampett who later created the animated series.

Its Enik the altrusion

[buffboipete]

dunno who he is??

[fucheduck]

known more for his voice than his face. He was in scooby doo as I remember hearing he did various characters, Buck Rogers finale, he acts over the top, not any main characters, he was in disguise on live action and no one could recognize him. His talking about Hal Smith of Andy Griffith.

[LowellV100]

@fucheduck Don't know if Walker ever did Scooby. The Early ones were done by Don Messick who was a utility voice man for HB.

[ACcountryFan]

@LowellV100: Don Messick originated the Scooby-Doo voice in 1969 and continued in the role until his retirement in 1996. Don did the voice in all the various Saturday morning cartoons and made-for-TV cartoons. "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", which ran in the late '80s into the early '90s, was the last weekly series Don appeared on as the voice of Scooby. Scott Innes took over the role for a period of years until current voice, Frank Welker, took over the role. Don did A LOT of characters.

[LowellV100]

@ACcountryFan Don, Janet Waldo, Jean Van DerPyl Gerry Johnson, Bea Benaderet, Alan Reed, Mel Blanc and Daws Butler were all in the HB stable at one time or another

[ACcountryFan]

@LowellV100: oh I knew that...I misunderstood your earlier comment. I thought you were wondering if Walker ever did the Scooby voice and so I was making a clarification that Don Messick did the voice from the character's creation in 1969 until 1996. After re-reading your comment I assume you were wondering if Walker ever did any voices on the Scooby-Doo cartoons.

i can't believed he died. i was so depressed when i heard the news

[Zawicki1]

Stinks he died. He was great as Bart and Tom. Hal was great, too.

[slunacourtier]

Yeah... Ii's been years since I hear any Odyssey episodes until recently... Ironically I heard the episode when Whit left Odyssey, which was the time Hal Smith actually died. IT was kind of emotional for me...

[TheTriangleChannel]
