Hobie Hartkins Posted May 11, 2018 Report Posted May 11, 2018 Happy birthday Uncle Jesse! I'm watching The Dukes, eating pizza and it's Friday and I don't have too work to do tomorrow...life doesn't get much better! :) Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 10, 2019 Report Posted May 10, 2019 Saturday is Denver's 99 th birthday. I celebrate it like he is family and next year is going to be pretty special. I am now 59, the age Denver was when Dukes came out so I'm starting to become more and more like him every day. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 They were showing old pictures of Doris Day on TV today because of her death and there was a picture of her with Denver from the mid 80s. Quote
Boss JD Hogg Posted May 16, 2019 Report Posted May 16, 2019 Happy Belated Birthday Denver!Uncle Jesse)! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 I just noticed that Jesse's birthday wasn't on this thread laat year and then realized I did a special thread for him in 2020 on his 100th birthday. Happy 101 today Jesse. The nice thing about popping a Dukes DVD in, is that Jesse stays in his 60s forever (59 in Georgia). It gives me a sense of comfort knowing my hero is timeless. Catch ya at the Boar's Nest later today you old ridge runner. Quote
Skipper Duke Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 Happy 101st Dukes of Hazzard Birthday today to Denver Pyle(Uncle Jesse Duke) in Heaven! 5/11/20. RogerDuke 1 Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 11, 2022 Report Posted May 11, 2022 Happy birthday Uncle Jesse. This crazy old world has sure run out of people who are worthy of looking up to but you always will be there in spirit for us to have a mentor.....well, not just in spirit, but on the television screen as well. We love you and we miss you. Quote

RogerDuke Posted May 11, 2023 Report Posted May 11, 2023 Maybe it's just a coincidence but it sure seems like the world was still sane when Denver Pyle was alive.....and it seems like it started turning crazy after he passed on. We miss you Uncle Jesse. Happy 103rd birthday in Hazzard Heaven.....a place where everything makes sense and the biggest ending is happy. MonacoMan, Garrett Duke, Hobie Hartkins and 1 other 1 3 Quote

Expand It was still sane when Denver’s/Uncle Jesse’s generation was still alive...but, sadly we are losing most of them, as time moves on. He was the same age as one of my grandmas...she passed away just two years after him, in ‘99. I can’t wrap my head around the idea they’d ‘be’...103 (little rhyme there)!
