Lurch Was Born on this Date.

Yes, I watched The Adams Family and my favorite on that show was Lurch.  Do you remember him?  He was born on this date fairly close to where I was born and lived the first thirty some years of my life.  Yep, he was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I used to live about thirty miles north of Pittsburgh on route 8 just south of Butler.

His real name was Ted Cassidy and he played the butler, Lurch:


I can remember him saying "You rang?" in that deep voice of his.  He passed away back in January of 1979 at a young age of only 46 after complications following open-heart surgery.

How many of you remember him now that you have seen his picture?  Let us know and as always, have a great day, you hear?

    I certainly do remember him and his signature line,
    "You rang?". He died too young.

      Yes he did die too young. I don't care if you are over a hundred when you die, you still died too young.

    I remember him and the show very well. I wonder why they don't do reruns. I have antenna TV and the Monsters are on in the afternoon still cracks me up.

      So far, memories can be recalled. I really enjoyed most everything about the 1950's. They were my informative years, since I was born in early Feb. of 1943.

    Yep I remember Lurch. I enjoyed most everything about the 50's as well. Early October 1944 was my birth date.

      I was born on Valentine's Day in '43. So, I am only a year and a half older than you.
