Pernell Roberts Passes Away at 81

[Texan]

Many of you youngsters won't remember Bonanza. Pernell Roberts passed away today at the age of 81. He was the oldest brother on the serial western Bonanza which ran from '59 through '73. I remember watching the show as it was released and again into replay land for years. When I was in junior and senior high school, Bonanza came on every night after the 10 PM news. I guess I've seen every episode at least a dozen times.

RIP to Pernell Roberts. Last of the surviving Bonanza family.
