William Lanteau

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

Dedicated to William Lanteau (1922-1993) who died on November 3, 1993

"
He was an actor who died at the age of seventy.
William died of complications from heart surgery.
He starred in over eighty television shows over the years.
This man chose to be a character actor, that was his career.
He starred on The Andy Griffith Show in 'Stranger In Town'.
He died over thirty years ago and he's buried in the ground.
He starred in 'Sanford and Son', 'Newhart' and 'Cold Steel'.
He also starred in an episode of 'The Trials of Rosie O'Neill'.
He starred in one episode of both 'Wonder Woman' and 'Amen'.
It's sad because William is dead and we will never see him again.
