That is one autograph I never did get. I grew up with Gumby and all those wacky characters as a kid!

Here is one of I am sure, many links to his obit!

Even though I loved Gumby, I always enjoyed Eddie Murphy playing him on Saturday Night Live , with that famous quote...... " I'm GUMBY Dammit!" LOL.
