Now, again, a lot of you might not know this guy. He is a great little character actor and has been in so many things through my childhood to today. He is the father of Ron and Clint Howard and I first started seeing him in The Andy Griffith show, doing little bit parts.

Rest in Peace

Their mother, Jean, was in one of my favorite episodes of Roseanne. She was the new neighbor lady that along with her husband, played air hockey naked and the Connors couldn't quit peeping at them, but unfortunately, they were old and not young naked people to watch. Roseanne's comment was: "I'm sure they remember where they were when Lincoln was shot."

Here is a picture of their mom when she did Roseanne:

Have seen him in bit parts; when you describe him as 'Ron Howard's Dad' I can actually see the resemblance now

Here’s a short film I made with and inspired by my grandfather Rance Howard; a true romantic who lived an epic life with creativity, integrity and love. Love you Grandad: Solemates https://youtu.be/3DGf125rbXY
Holy heck. That had me teared up. Who knew shoes could say so much?

Yes, I remember that episode. It was very funny.
