Whitey, We Hardly Knew Ya
Here's one of zangier obituary intros you'll read:
Demons chased Stanley Fafara from Hollywood to Portland, tormenting him while he spiraled into a hand-to-mouth existence on the street. Over time, he lost everything—family, money, dignity—to heroin, pills and booze. But friends said that Fafara—a child actor who had a continuing role as "Whitey" on the "Leave It to Beaver" television show—was at peace with himself Saturday when he died.
