He made Bonanza a great success.
He was born in Bowie County, Texas.
After Dan Blocker died, Bonanza went on.
But it wasn't the same after he was gone.
At fourteen pounds he was the largest baby born in his town.
Eighteen years later he stood six feet three and weighed three hundred pounds.
Hoss appeared to be more gentle than Adam and little Joe.
When he passed away, fans found it hard to let go.
He starred with Landon, Roberts, and Greene.
Fans were astounded by his performance on the screen.
After gall bladder surgery, he died from a clot in his lung.
Dying at forty-three was far too young.
It was so sad when Mister Blocker died.
They couldn't have cast a better actor for the role of Hoss if they tried.
He guest starred in Gunsmoke, Maverick, and Cheyenne.
When he was laid to rest, we lost a very talented man.

| Well written piece, consider leaving out the last stanza though, as "Dying at forty-three was far too young." has much better ring to it and signifies the loss much more than "When he was laid to rest, we lost a very talented man." |

Michael Landan and Dan Blocker were my favorits on that show.
Both careing men. I wish TV would bring back westerns;these sticoms drive me crazy.
