He was 70. Denver died Friday at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina of complications from treatment he was receiving for cancer, his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, told the Associated Press.

VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 He played Maynerd Krebs in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" before Gilligan debuted in 1964. I met him some years back when he signed autographs at the Mtn. Fest. A great loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
