Ben Jones passed away today August 9, 2026. It’s a sad day for Dukes Of Hazzard fans and Ben’s family. My prayers are with Ben and his family.

Can’t believe he’s gone y’all. I heard the news today like many of us, and it hurts so bad. He was just this loving, kind and gentle soul. The very embodiment of what it means to be a Good Ol Boy. R.I.P to an absolute legend! - Tom Duke (Ontario, Canada)

Just heard the sad news, a few hours ago. From my oldest brother, who him, and my other 2 brothers, gave me my nickname years ago. Cooter! Cuz i tinkered with anything car related. From probably 4 years old . From hotwheels to hubcaps and old vehicles. Im 42 now. Nickname means more to me now. As Cooter/Ben Jones, always went out of his way, to help those in need.I live by that rule also.We were raised that way. The RIGHT,and HONEST way. Respect for your elders, treat others the way , you would want to be treated….and be a decent human being……. We did lose a legend. But as the ol sayin goes…legends never die! Say hi to uncle Jesse and the others for me that we lost. Enjoy a peaceful rest Ben Jones. “I might be crazy, but i aint dumb….,Crazy Cooter comin atcha!” Its not goodbye, its so long. We’ll meet again on the other side.

One of my favorite episodes!

You got it. Mr. Haney is Sam the bartender in Season 2 Episode 1 (14) Days of Shine and Roses. 😀

I’m not totally sure…but, actor Pat Buttram made appearances on both Green Acres & Dukes of Hazzard. Both GA & DOH aired on CBS, and both were set in “fictional” farming/small town locations: GA in Hooterville, and DOH in Hazzard County, Georgia.
