David Nelson Passes, And With Him, An Era

David Nelson, who co-starred with his parents and little brother Rick on the popular television show 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,' has died after battling complications of colon cancer.

"Ozzie & Harriet" was one of the most popular television shows of the '50's and '60's, running from 1952-1966. David was the older brother of another icon, in the music industry - Ricky Nelson, who died in an airplane crash in 1985.

For those of us who grew up with the Nelson boys, David will be sorely missed. His family helped usher in a wonderful era. His passing leaves us with a void that can not be easily filled.

Good-bye, David. You will be missed.
