I'm so embarrassed. Here I am a 63 year old man getting a lump in his throat and tears in his eyes. I will never forget anyone who was in the Waltons. A wonderful, wonderful series that will live in my heart forever.
I’m 65 and I still watch it everyday
I feel exactly the same way. I especially love Mary Jackson and Helen Kleeb.
Don’t feel bad so did I. I got teary eyed
I wish today was like The Waltons because you had God and family and them two combination that was all you needed back in those days. be honest we need that right now in our days. God bless whoever reads this
Yep. Same here bro. I wish the same as well. Back then we spoke to each other. Wrote letters and waited weeks for replies. No social media. The best years man. And yes today the world could do with some Waltons.
I agree with u and thank U for the Blessings 🙏
God Bless U 🤗
Them two? Wow.
True.. things are not the same but we DO always have God..that never changes 😊
amen
Nothing today even comes close
Joe Scopelite yivjhkb!BC
Joe Scopelite why we watch this show everyday, the Walton, Dr. Quinn, and Little House!
I recommend the BBC series Call the Midwife! It is a well written period series with enormous heart and excellent characterization.
@@VIncentSunflowers lol I watch the Waltons and my missus watches the midwife. From New Zealand here, and the brits have some cool 80s shows as well.
Rest in peace Ike Godsey. Go rest upon that mountain my friend.
When you consider the shows like The Waltons, Little House On The Praire, shows that taught us family values you realize why the world was different then.
When you conseder what is on Tv now death,horror and crime, that teach us nothing, you realze why the world is like it is today. Sad.
Well said. So true ....
I second that .
Lots of shows had death, hooror, and crime when the Waltons and LHOTHP were playing.
I third That
How true
What a loveable man and a fun character. He's a true class act.
Yes, he seemed very sweet.
Who else is still watching the Waltons in 2019? I am!, I saw it as a kid when it was new and its still new every time I watch it. Probably my favorite show of all time.
I do
Looking back the Walton's world seemed smaller and more compact and yet so real to life. They took time to live life with family. They sailed their ship using a moral compass to guide them with honesty, integrity, fairness, hard work and sense of community. Am watching the series for the third time. I think some of the family remaining around my age. Maybe that's why I enjoy and can relate. Well done....Paul French
It's 2022 and THIS is still MY Favorite Show. Even with all my degrees, I learn so much from these characters and EVERYTHING else in THIS Show. No wonder it still dominates the TV scene to today. Great Lessons about LIFE vs LIFESTYLES. 🙂Peace
@@zairaali2733 that's awesome to see you learned alot from this programme. I grew up on this during the 1980s. Best TV programmes and the best music. Oh those were the days.
Stay safe.
@@ValHemi265 I am referring to Family Values. In today's society, I strongly believe in PARENTS being FIRST Teachers by introducing Rules of Etiquette for starters, as Respect automatically follows. Charity does begin at home. :-) Peace
Love Ike. I grew up in the 70's...was same age as Elizabeth. Watched every single episode for 9 years and now I'm watching them all over again on The Hallmark Channel. Wish our country was still the way they portrayed it and even like it was in the 70's. We have lost so much innocence in life. God, keep our eyes to you. Keep us simple and kind.
Amen
Nicely said NightOwl..nicely said!
I agree. The Walton's was and still is my all-time favorite show.
I was the same age as Elizabeth, too; I was a fan since "The Homecoming: A Christmas Story" in December 1971
Talented cast..God's gift to the world...
i love the Waltons, there is no show like it. The show displayed so many good values you wont see in any of the tv programs anymore... and I love Mr. Godsy
What a wonderful life they had.
He was a very good actor and with "Cora Beth" he took on a new life on the show. They were very interesting together.
Totally different era of TV that's for sure.
Even the smallest details in the scripts had significance if you paid close attention. Alot of things went over my head the first 2 or 3 times watching the seasons
Good night Mr. Godsey....you left an awesome legacy....thanks for the memories....rip
I live in Buffalo, New York where Joe Conley grew up. I happened to be at a flea market over the weekend and picked up South Park High School yearbooks 1942-1945. Inside I found a newspaper clipping the owner placed about a 40th reunion of the Class of 1945. (The article was published in 1985). It was entitled, "Reunion turns up a familiar face." The article talks about Joe Conley coming to Buffalo to attend. It was held at Fontana's Picnic Grove. I opened the 1945 yearbook to glance at the seniors, and there he was - Joseph H. Conley, Jr. For a $10 purchase, it was a great surprise. That's how I came across this tribute which was very well put together. Thank you. RIP Mr. Conley. Incidentally, his classmates had a nickname for him in High School -"Hollywood Joe." Who knew?
Mr. Conley was a decorated hero of the Korean War. He resumed his acting career afterward. I'm not sure what service branch he was in.
So very touching and magnificently done!! I am almost in tears. I was so sad to hear of Jon Conley's passing. Ike and Cora were priceless. They added so much depth to the show. Loved 'The Waltons' to bits as a million others did.
Wake up Hollywood!! If you made more shows like this society would be much happier.
Yes Ma'am. That's a fact! 🥰
Love the series loved all characters but this guy had everything in his store 😂😂😂 his store was like magic 😂😂
Do you know that the store from the show is real and you can buy cokes in the bottle and 5 cent candy
Even a pool table.
We had a similar store-with everything in it until the 90s.
I marvel at all that was available for the townspeople in that store. Of course, yes, once there was a sugar shortage. Always a fresh supply of dolls.
A very beloved man; gracious and talented.
i cant find much on TV to watch now.. So Thank God for RUclips and its wonder old episodes of quality TV shows and movies..
I will always retain very fond memories of The Waltons from my childhood, it is almost impossible not to. RIP Mr.Godsey.
We see
Dee Dee
"The Waltons" is my most beloved TV Show ever. Each single character seemed to be perfect to me.
RIP JOE CONLEY AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT YEARS OF THE WALTONS.. I STILL WATCH IT TILL THIS DAY.. GOD BLESS
When tv was worth watching...
What a great character he played. He is forever immortalized as part of the cast of a show that championed honesty and integrity - traits that are sadly lacking in our society today. Rest In Peace Ike - you will be greatly missed.
Goodnight Mr. Godsey you were a great character and are loved and missed by many
Perfectly cast on that show.
Some of the fondest memories from my own childhood were going to the local corner grocery store. The grocer and his wife were a lot like Ike and Corabeth and became so dear to us that they were like family. God bless Joe Conley he will be missed.
Just for fun, how rich was Ike Godsey? I mean, he seemed like he had a lot of money for that time, etc. What a great show!!
He reminded of my Grandfather. He and his cousin Joe ran a nice grocery store. My grandfather had personality plus. Rest in peace Joe Conley. Rest in peace Papa.
@@LiveINtheGood53 not rich but he got most of the business in the area. The wife seemed a little creepy.
@@Moose803 I think the wife was just out of place for an area like that and she wanted to feel educated and normal to her, if that makes sense. He always had money out of pocket to buy that watch or anything else really. I agree with you that he was the only grocery store in town.
Next to my Nana's house was Sam's store. There was no gas sold, but inside was so similar. A candy shelf, some canned goods, and fresh fruits and veggies. Great memories🦋🦋🎈🎈♥️♥️☺️☺️☺️
I am so glad I watched every episode of The Waltons when new. I had just started 6th grade when the first season premiered. I watched it until the final ep No show on TV today can even come close.
When you grow up watching the Waltons,they have such love for each other and true family values..There will never be another Waltons...love it
Rest in peace dear Mr. Conley
This old life seems all we do is loose the people that touched our lives in so many ways You my childhood TV friend will be missed by all who watched and loved your sprit for life and laughter Thanks for the video
How did I missed that he passed? Oh how I loved him on the Waltons; such a brilliant actor. RIP Joe.
Rest in peace, may the wind on the mountain forever whisper and cherish what you brought, most of all what you have left with people.
Beautiful
love this show use to watch it every day wish the world was still like this when we all got along and loved each other
me to wish things would get better for all of us but sad thing is its getting worse !!!
So very True
It was MAGICAL..All of them were talented and gifted...SPECIAL IN THERE OWN WAY...Love brings people together..God bless.
?
@@garrieleepeck8753 The sad thing is it doesn't have to be that way, we can change it. If we all be the very best we can be, everyday no matter how we may feel. Kind to one another, even to those who dont really deserve us to be kind to. It may just rub off. Or might start them to thinking, gee that gal was nice, maybe I should be nice too. My father said you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar , so true. I know if I'm in kind of a bad mood, and I met someone who has a smile and treats me kind. It changes my whole attitude. We all just need to try a little harder smile a little more, love a little more. And we can change the world. Let's do it ! It will catch on like a forest fire. Go out and see. There might be those who wont respond to us right away but keep working on them they will come around ;?
Man, Jon Conley was absolutely perfectly cast. The feeling, that simple rural heart-as-good-as gold, he brought that, what he contributed to the series was immense. Thank you!
He was genuinely cheerful.
Loved Mr godsey great actor memory's in the store .memory's Walton's .
The Waltons was one of those rare shows from the past,we will never see the likes of again.Thankfully episodes are still being broadcasted and we can watch the special stories, acted by a wonderful cast.
I was in the 9 the grade when it started and watched every one of them and yes now watching the show on Hallmark today's tv is nothing but pure garbage ,I salute them all !!!
Thank you so much. I always loved the Waltons. Even though I grew up in the 70's, my life was a lot like the Waltons. Brings back so many memories.
It's funny to me. On one episode of the Waltons (I forget which one) Ike Godsey explained to the Waltons Crew or someone about the future of food markets and how they will operate. "It will be where people will go in the store and pick out their stuff on their own and then pay for it all later." Ike would say. As in the Grocery field myself to a certain degree, I always got a kick out of that, haha. Ike Godsey was truly a visionary! :)) God Bless you Joe Conley!!
I have a Walton addiction going on lately...I have to watch the show (3 in a row) every night to get my fix. Now Im looking them up on line too!
No doubt about it. The show makes you feel good.
Me too, I tune in daily on ME t.v it's the only show I enjoy. Besides Leave it to Beaver.
Go on eBay you can get all 9 seasons and 6 others Walton movie all for $104
I guess we kinda watched those kids grow up .
@@lianecornils6603 Barnaby Jones and Cannon are good too
The Walton's portrayed a much gentler and much missed way of life. I didn't watch it until my late 40's and it was just a little bit before my time! How I would have loved to grow up and lived in that era. I couldn't miss the material things I have now because I wouldn't have known about them! Would that have been a bad thing? I really don't think so. In many ways, I would have had much, much more.
I was about 7 Years old when i saw the first waltons. I and Elizabeth are the Same Age. I love the Waltons then and now
I did grow up in that time; and only about 40 miles from (Walton's Mountain). It was a great time in our country, especially in small towns, where everyone knew everyone else. Back then your word was your bond; honesty and integrity was the normal!
Did you not see how much time Mom and Grandma spent everyday cooking cleaning doing laundry by hand. Dad and Grandpa had it a little easier cutting wood all day but at least they had family
@@hughkirkman5436 pretty sure she was 10 the first season
I wish shows could be like this today.
Great actor, Great Show! Thank you for your contribution in making The Waltons a great, memorable show!
I didn't get to watch the show a lot when it was first one because I was in my 20's and working hard. But I liked and now I watch the re-runs and never get tired of them. They remind me of a time when people treated each other better and wish it were more like that today. We all live for technology now and it seems their lives portrayed living on Walton's Mountain had a lot more than technology can ever give you. REAL LIFE.... I love watching the re-runs. What a casting they did for that show. Just remarkable.
I like when they set around the radio in the evening listening together. People really used to do that
Good night, Mr Godsey.
INSP feature two shows of the Waltons daily. Love watching them again.
I. ENJOYED. THE WHOLE. ENTIRE SHOW. THEY REMIND. OF ALL OF US HAVING DINNER AROUND THE. DINNER TABLE. I MISS MY PARENTS VERY MUCH TOO AS WELL. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️.
I'm 51 years old, grew up with the Walton's, my favorite show EVER! Still watch it today. LOVED Ike, I think he helped make the show what it was... Goodnight Mr. Godsey.
Amazing Just Love him and The Waltons always has the Warmest place in my Heart would have Loved to belong to that family. Thank you so much Joe Conley RIP. You did so well!~♥
I still watch The Walton's everyday. It reminds me so much of my younger years, I was the youngest of 10. Even in John & Olivia, every once in a while I can catch a little glimpse of something my parents used to say or do or even see where some of the traditions we had came from. If you are sitting with me you will probably, more times than not, see a tear in my eye.
I loved all the characters from the show but Ike was one of my favorites.
Having The Walton's in my life made me a humble person as I grew up. I looked at the family as someone I wanted to be a part of. This was a blessing to see. Thank you to the Walton's.
I grew up watching these shows I never miss this show when It came on tv every time it came on tv thank God for DVD s I want to tank the person who made DVD s and these beautiful time Classics movies
Acting or not, the Walton’s will always be in my heart and always have an impact on my everyday life.
I absolutely adore Joe Conley in his role as Ike Godsey! To this day, I watch reruns of The Waltons, over and over and over....
Just love this! I feel like they are my family. I've watched for so many years. 54 years old and still love it. Honestly and Integrity. Beautiful!
Walton’s was a great series especially when the first three to four years it was on .The Walton’s Christmas show with Patricia Neal was the very first one I watched in 1970
I am a big walton's fan wat everyday on Hallmark channel and I have all the dvds love the show will watch for ever.
+Deirdre Begley ME TO. DEIRDRE. I LOVE IT WATCH IT ALL DAY ON 2 DIFFERENT CHANNELS 68 AND 1109
I remember watching The Walton’s as a kid. Loved it. Now I’m 52 and watching all 9 seasons on Amazon prime. I watch almost every night with my 12 year old daughter. We are currently on season 5. ( about 24 episodes per year. That’s alot of Waltons).
What I find kind of funny is that most episodes bring tears to my eyes at some point. Grandma and grandpa Walton make me want to sob sometimes. I’m the man of our home but I’m always crying but my daughter is not!
Best show ever. I wish they would clean up what they’re putting on tv these days. I thank God that we have these videos to watch over and over with our own family 🙂
I still watch the Walltons repeats -didn't know he had passed on- Seems like an old friend has gone RIP
What a sweet tribute.
One episode that showcased Corabeth`s redeeming side very well was the one where her car broke down and Ben fixed it, the dialogue really exposed her vulnerability, the reasons for her "annoying side" and taught me to have greater understanding and patience with people, not to judge a book by its cover.
I met him in a gym in Westlake Village , California . He was trying to get a knee stronger. Such a friendly man. I never let him know I knew who he was. Kind fellow, down to earth and just wanted to talk.
So nice couldn't help tearing up. Grew up with the Waltons. Still watch it when I have the guts!
I loved this show!!! I loved all the people!! I even went to Schuyler, VA to see where the Hamner’s grew up. Pure Heaven.
I'll be down there in September, so looking forward to it. My new old fav show is the Waltons, I record it daily and watch 2 episodes every night 😏❤
I'm gonna watch The Walton's now.. and I'm 20.. I don't care.. it was such a good show.. Rest in Peace Mr. Godsey..
I am 52 to 2019 coming to end and New Year's Eve I am just watching some old parts tears are coming down my face saying goodbye to these beautiful cast 1 by 1 I've gone Never Forgotten
The Walton was great am from England my parents watch it with use I remember fond memories from the show God bless Ike
Like Godsy was my favorite character of The Waltons as were all the characters. Rest In Peace to the characters of the show that have passed on and also to the actors.
When I was young kid I remember ike godsey shop owners .all gone in the superstore walmart era
Ironic that Walmart is owned by a real Walton family - the richest family in the world in contrast to the (originally) barefoot fictional Walton kids.
Wow, she also spoke about her character so well, "difficult yet redeemable" I love them both so much.
I watch the Walton's everyday on MeTv and I got my oldest daughter watching
one of my favorite characters
That was a lovely tribute to Ike Godsey!! RIP Joe Conley. And thank you for all the many times in the past and present when we were able to go back to simpler times. Cry a little. laugh a little. And strive to bring more grace and dignity to this time we live in.
Rest In Peace Mr Joe Conley.
Thank you for enhancing many lives including my own.
It has been an honour for us to have you on our screens.
Avoided this show at all costs as a kid.Now in my mid 40s, these remind me of better times & been lucky to see reruns as brand new & fresh.Tastes change as you age & The Waltons has had some superb guest actors along the way.
I enjoyed watching the Waltons . I learned about this show through my mom. She use to watch it everyday and I just sat on her bed and started watching it with her. Love it
My wife and I still watch The Waltons every weekday on MeTV at 11am central time. I know every single episode by heart and it's still the best thing on TV.
Great piece.. i growed up with the Waltons and this was a great tribute to everyone who was associated with the series
R.I.P Mr godsey you are truly missed xxxx
when did he died ???
+Jesusistheonlysavior he died on the 3rd of February 2014
This is a heartwarming tribute to JOE CONLEY,our Ike Godsey on THE WALTONS,who died on Sunday,7-7-13....... Thanks for the memories and REST In PEACE .....
I am watching 're-runs' on a vintage tv network. I did not watch it very often until now. I have a newfound appreciation for the show.
The Waltons was the best show in television history-very strong cast excellent writing and a very very important time in American history that was vastly overlooked.This show made me realize how much I missed by being an only child.Joe Conley is a television icon-his character was underrated and I cannot imagine the show without him.God Bless Joe Conley and may he forever be remembered as a great actor and a great man.
I only Knew Him Off The Waltons but Listening to him There He Seems A Very Gentle Man. Rest in Peace Mr Conley
God bless you RIP! Loved this show so much! 🥰🏴🏴🏴
I went to Ike's store in VA. about 20 years ago. There was a blue-tick hound lying on the ground out front. I fed him some cookies and sat with him for a while. It was in a little town off RT. 29 called Schuyler, VA. What a good time we had watching the Walton's back in the day. Thank you Joe for playing "Ike" so well. You are now made immortal in the minds of your fans.
I love this man always have. He reminded me so much of my own grandfather growing up. Sadly my grandfather died when I was 13, so just watching the show it was like bringing my grandfather home in my livingroom for a little while.
RIP sir and thank you. I found this while looking up Waltons stuff since pa Walton himself Ralph Waite passed away today :(..SO SAD. I grew up on this being born in 69. I love this show and the people in it.
R.I.P. Ike. You were an inspiration and a great actor. you will be sadly missed......
My all time favorite show. Although I loved all of the characters on this show, Ike Godsey was one of my favorites. What a special man; and a special man that played him. I loved how loyal he was to his friendships; how much everyone meant to him; and I loved his relationship with Cora Beth. Thank you, Mr Conley for the gift you've given me that will last a lifetime.
Gail Jensen ok
I love the Walton’s , I bought the whole set watch them every winter when not on tv ,love love love Ike he was so wonderful in his part in his corner store he will be missed.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful posting ray.what a really wonderful guy he was.God bless him.
Man he will be missed what a wonderful man the waltons was and is the greatest show ever produced i am lucky enough that i have ever show of the waltons that has ever been made my heart goes out to his wife and family God Bless you Ike Godsey RIP
we all loved Ike! Ladychar Fresno, Cal
I always thought that I was watching a true family on television once a week when it came on. Never looked at them as cast members, only true family members. If Hollywood wants to, they can bring back the cast, the cast that were kids back then now as adults today. "The Waltons Siblings".
This is great hearing this interview. Ike was one of my favourite characters from the series. Corabeth you love to hate, but I admired her because she usually was the one character who had the most "growth". She was pretentious but she also became "real" at some point. Despite the disjointed episode to episode story-lines, the series was great to watch.
I always wanted the Waltons to adopt me....loved the show and the characters
He was the guy who owned the general store right ? always seemed like a nice chap.
What an incredibly beautiful tribute to Joe Conley aka Ike Godsey. You did a fabulous job on this video. You should be very proud of yourself.
brilliant pure brilliant :-)
I am a 59 year old man and I love love love The Waltons! I watch it every time it’s on which is a lot! Watching this dear old man who had been a part of my youth brings a tear to my eye.
I’m happy to be here today but oh how I long for the past! ❤️
I love this show, always have sice i was a little girl.
It's so simple and beautiful. It's about FAMILY when there
are no shows left about family. I also am a writer so I related
to John Boy's character the most. :)
He reminds me of Mr Isley...of Isleys Grocery..long closed ..but was the only store my mother shopped at...She'd pay her Bill when my Daddy's social security check would come in...evwry month...knew all six of us kids by name...and went to the same church...Mr Isley was the most in a man you could ask for...our penny candy was always free...he'd never charge us...and taught us kids to share with others and always pray for happiness...that it will happen...never Hope...but pray.
may you rest high on that mountain Mr. Ike....and Mr. Isley
I can just imagine walking to Godsey's store and getting a soda, chewing the fat and talking to Ike .
If your family could afford extras like that. It was the great depression
Ive been the real one...in Va. ..Its not exactly like you see on tv....Theres a plaque above the door...Ike Godseys store....it was run by The Snead family when I went....
Always was and is still is the best show on television.
Looked forward to it every week.
It still brings tears to my eyes. So many memories of my own family I associate through this period and show. I wish someone in Hollywood understood the value and interest people have in this type of programming.
All their interested in today is either scaring you to death or completely grossing you out with one death scene after another.
Wonderful actor in a great show
