Just saw this. To all Boomers this is sad, another Icon from our youth gone, Read the complete article on Ken, he was a LAPD policeman and was shot 5 times while in pursuit of a criminal.

I will never forget his character of Eddie Haskell on "Leave it to Beaver", God Speed Ken and thanks for all the hours of entertainment.

Eddie Haskell wasn’t the troublemaker. He was always polite and respectful to the adults. Beaver was the one that was always creating ‘situations’

RIP, Eddie.

Covid until proven otherwise.

June Cleaver gave Eddie Haskell his first Playboy Magazine.

That's why he was able to stroll in to see Wally and The Beaver so nonchalantly all the time.

RIP

RIP. I’d love to know how many people he stopped did a double-take and told him, “You look just like Eddie Haskell.”

I always wondered why Ken Osmond was never offered a role on Adam-12 since he was a member of the LAPD from 1970.

RIP, Mr. Osmond.

Eddie Haskell was one of the great sitcom characters of all time IMHO. When one of my high school friends was bragging about how good and well-behaved her grandson was a few years ago, my answer was, “Every teenage boy has an inner Eddie Haskell just waiting to get out of earshot from the adults.”

LOL, maybe not universally true, but close to it!!!
