Sad. K Osmond makes the perfect E Haskell.
Some of E Haskell's best scenes include the time when B Cleaver hypnotizes E Haskell and then can't wake him up.
And when E Haskell gets the job at the pet store where G Bates and B Cleaver enter the goldfish count contest. Then E Haskell learns the correct answer, but will G B and the B find out before the rest of Mayfield does?
And when W Whitney dares B Cleaver to investigate the billboard and then gets stuck inside that giant cup of soup, before Wd Cleaver and Mayfield Fire Department try to rescue him, without that wiseguy E Haskell's awareness that Wd Cleaver is standing right behind him.
And when Wy Cleaver takes W Whitney, G Bates, A3 and the B on a hiking/camping trip, and then L Rutherford and E Haskell hide out in the woods to try to scare the happy campers.
Sad to see it all end this way, K Osmond. Even on the Munsters you leave your mark.

P.S. Wpia cites K Osmond's mortal illness as generating "from complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and peripheral artery disease."
Wpia there cites three f-notes for cross referencing.
