RogerDuke Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 I sure wish I look as good as he does when I turn 90(for some reason, every time I watch an episode he just never seems to age) Quote
Garrett Duke Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 LOL Roger! Yeah...he sure looks great for being 90 - glad to hear I'm not the only one to picture the Dukes the same age of the series! Quote
texasdaisy09 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Posted May 14, 2010 Hey since we're on the subject, whenever I think of the stars getting older, for some reason the song Forever Young comes to mind. Which is what they will be as long as we have the DVD's. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Happy birthday Uncle Jesse (May 11) You'll always be my hero. While I'm on the subject of my hero it seems as if I've been giving him credit for something he didn't deserve. I always said that he should be credited for inventing ethanol in 1979 on "High Octane" but my wife just saw an episode of the Waltons where Jim-Bob and a moonshiner named Yancy invented it. Yancy said "It's better to have drunk cars than drunk drivers." The episode was called "The Beau" and it was from 1978. Quote
HossC Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 ...Jim-Bob and a moonshiner named Yancy invented it.Roger, did you forget that Yancy Peckinpaugh is an alias of Uncle Jesse (Route 7-11)?. So maybe he did invent ethanol after all . Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Very impressive Hoss! I remembered the last name but not the first. What a coincidence! Or is it? It makes me wonder who the writers were. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Happy birthday Uncle Jesse! I hope you have a great day tomorrow! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 Happy Birthday Uncle Jesse! We'll all meet at the Boar's Nest to celebrate! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 May is the birthday month of my hero. I always celebrate Uncle Jesse's BD on May 11th. He is...and always will be...a big part of my life. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Happy birthday to the late great Denver Pyle...you are greatly missed! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 He certainly is missed Garrett. He would have turned 93 today. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 Great actor, great man. Heaven gained an angel when he died...RIP Denver. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 10 more days until my hero's birthday. I was watching "Repo Men" on CMT and realized that I only have about 5 or 6 more years to go until I'm the same age Jesse was when it was filmed. Kinda strange considering I'm the exact same age as John Schneider. In fact he was born 7 days before me. We both just turned 54. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 Well Roger...here it is one in the morning and I was thinking I was going to be the first one to wish Denver a happy birthday...only to see that you beat me to it by ten days. I guess it pays not to wait to the last minute to do so. LOL.Happy birthday Denver!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 He'd be 94 now if he was still with us. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 One more week until my hero's 95th birthday! Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 Happy birthday Uncle Jesse...you are definitely missed by all of us!! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 As most of you know I post all the stars birthdays here but I don't really celebrate them but one. That one exception is May 11th. I don't make a cake or sing happy birthday or anything like that but I do catch myself thinking about 'ole Jesse all day on the 11th. It's not so much that he's made a biigger impact on my life that any of the other stars....it's that Jesse is my future. He's the man I'm going to be someday. He's my hero. I don't know how much Denver Pyle was like Jesse but it doesn't matter. What matters is that his acting gave me a mentor to look up to, and an old timer worthy of modeling my life around. I am, after all, only 4 years away from being Denver's age (59) in 1979 when Dukes first came out so, Lord willing, I'll live long enough to grow a white beard. Thanks Denver. Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 I'm 49 and already have a white beard,.. thanks to my wife! Skipper Duke 1 Quote

Boss JD Hogg Posted May 11, 2017 Report Posted May 11, 2017 Happy Birthday Uncle Jesse(Denver)! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 12, 2017 Report Posted May 12, 2017 I just got done watching "Days of Shine and Roses." Denver was born 97 years ago today. Quote
