Born in West Plains, MO, Richard Wayne van Dyke was a high school athlete until a heart condition kept him from participating in the track team. Turning to drama, he was a hit at many high school plays because he was always taller then the leading lady and his booming voice could easily be heard by the audience.

God bless Robert Lloyd of The Los Angeles
Times!
His tribute to Jerry Van Dyke’s life showed an understanding and appreciation of Jerry’s art that had me standing up, cheering! I only wish he was here to read it.
He learned acting by watching “Candid Camera”, a show about real human beings reacting. All that hesitant, stumbling speech pattern was timed to a nanosecond.
He was born with a slight birth defect, an enlarged funny bone!
Somehow it jarred his perspective on life a little to the side. I never could fathom what it was he saw, but I knew that everything struck him funny.
An incredibly sane man, a little Huckleberry Finn, a little Laurel & Hardy. My favorite comic. I loved him. He deserved more. ... See MoreSee Less
