Sandy Kenyon was an active part of my theatre company, Theatre West, in
Hollywood, long before I joined it. I'm not sure I ever met him. But I
sure knew his face.

Sandy Kenyon

August 05, 1922 - February 20, 2010
Born 87 years ago in New York, Sandy Kenyon passed away peacefully at his
home on February 20, 2010. After serving as a pilot in the Army Air Corp in
WWII, Sandy moved back to New York to pursue his career in acting, finally
moving to Los Angeles in the 1950's.

Sandy will always be remembered for his passion as an actor and director. He
will live on forever in the memories of his family and friends, his theater
company and the hundreds of movies, television programs and stage plays he
was a part of.

Sandy was predeceased by his beloved wife, Charlotte Blaugrund Kenyon. He is
survived by his step-daughter, Janie Short and her children, Ben & Lindsey
of Fort Smith, AR., and his step-son Stewart Given and his wife, Susan
Levitt Given of Santa Monica. Memorial services will be a family gathering
at sea.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to his theater company,
Interact Theatre Company, P.O. Box 349, North Hollywood, CA 91603.

If I've looked up the correct person in IMDB, it's quite an impressive

He was on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW a zillion times in different roles,
and was one of the flight crew in the "Odyssey of Flight 33" episode
of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

Shame, he was one of a few great character actors left. RIP

Myself, I remember his guest appearances on Hogan's Heroes.
