He was in the Marine Corps. When he got out he worked at NBC where he portrayed Clarabelle the Clown on Howdy Doody. In 1955, he created Captain Kangaroo, where he taught us tykes of the '50s manners and deportment in a gentle way. He won 6 Emmys, 3 Peabodys and was elected to the Clown Hall of Fame. He died in 2004 in Vermont. All of this courtesy of the IMDb.

I miss him and Hugh Brannum (Mister Green Jeans).
Was my favorite show.
