RIP Mr. Drucker. Green Acres had a lot of underlying deep humor beneath the hijinks.

I am guessing that Eb is the only one still living but I actually have no idea.

From the "Green Acres Virtual Museum", a few years ago (you can sorta hear Frank's voice in your head as you read his words)...

Rest in peace, Frank Cady! Thanks for all the fun you brought Green Acres and Petticoat Junction!

1971 saw the “rural purge” at CBS, when shows like Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and The Beverly Hillbillies met their end. In the words of Pat Buttram (Green Acres “Mr. Haney), it was the year “CBS canceled everything with a tree — including Lassie.”

"Darling, I love you but give me Park Avenue!"

One of my favorites as a child. Loved it when they caused the NYC & Northeast blackout.

Always enjoyed him on Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and the occasional cross-over to Beverly Hillbillies.

Those shows were funny without relying on sexual inuendos or filthy language to get a laugh.

Had no idea he was still around.

RIP Mr. Cady. I believe you were one of the good guys.

He was also a semi-regular on “Ozzie and Harriet.”

I don’t know how far back he goes in films, but the earliest I recall seeing him is in a nifty little spy/crime thriller called “The Atomic City” (1952), which starred Gene Barry as a nuclear scientist whose son is kidnapped and ransomed for the atomic bomb formula. Cady had a small role, and already looked kinda old back then!

Great character face and a good actor. I enjoyed Green Acres, especially Mr. Haney.

Frank Cady, 96, a character actor who played Hooterville general-store proprietor Sam Drucker on the TV sitcoms “Green Acres” and “Petticoat Junction,” died Friday at his home in Wilsonville, Ore., said his daughter, Catherine Turk. No specific cause was given.

Obviously he was living life hard and partying. Just dropped dead at 96, what else could be the cause?

Petticoat Junction is on every day. I’m old and really enjoy the “clean programs”.
