Enjoyed The Rifleman so much. Where I grew up we didn’t get to watch it. So about ten years ago they brought it back on the air in Kansas City. So it was like watching a new episode every day. Thanks so much for the show. God speed my friend.

Big fan of the rifleman series, best wishes Johnny

Of all the weekly westerns in the late 1950s and early 1960s when I was in grammar school, The Rifleman was our very favorite. You and Lucas and Micah and Millie-Lou Mallory, Nils and the rest were part of our family. A moral to each episode.

I will always appreciate Johnny Crawford’s acting as Mark McCain in The Rifleman, which was, besides Fury, the only TV Western I ever watched regularly. I also enjoyed Johnny’s great singing on his hit Del-Fi records, including Rumors.

Hi Johnny,
I’m the same age as you. The Rifleman was my favorite cowboy series on TV because each episode had a good moral to the story. Compassion, empathy and justice were the touchstones I loved and learned about on your show. You’re my hero.

Sir, I grew up watching you on TV helped me out getting through some bad times just heard about you I’m so sorry! I loved how you & your TV dad helped each other! my dad was a VFW never saw him much growing up, never give up! I’m a drummer like my dad.

You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers! I STILL watch The Rifleman it’s on ME-TV; I grew up watching you and Chuck Conner’s every Saturday! Hope the good Lord helps with your condition!

Dear Johnny,
I have watched the Rifleman since I was a little boy. I’m 66 now. The wonderful morals and life lessons you and Chuck Connors shared are extremely precious and cherished by myself & family.
Thank you so much
