A nation doffs its coonskin caps to Fess Parker, who starred on the TV series "Davy Crockett" and "Daniel Boone" in the 1950s and 1960s and who died today at his home in the Santa Ynez Valley, calif., according to his managers. He was 85.

Mr. Parker, a native Texas, left show business for a career in business and real estate in the 1970s. He opened mobile home parks and a luxury hotel in California and started Fess Parker Winery.

RIP Fess Parker.

Makes me feel old and vulnerable when I read of these oldies that I remember well, passing on.

Oh my gosh, that makes me sad....I'm too young to remember the Davy Crockett craze, but I certainly watched the Davy Crockett movies...He was in a lot of others, too.....

Davey... Davey Crockett.. King of the wild frontier! I remember him, and the coonskin caps, well.

Rest in peace, Fess Parker.
