I have a timeless memory of 'Mark McCain' He and Chuck Connors embodied everything that was good, holesome, righteous, and patriotic. All the family sit tv shows back then were perfect examples of the way America lived or should live their lives. But the the Rifleman was the only show back then that focused on father and son. The potrayal of their relationship was so warm, real and genuine. I loved and admired the maturity and wisdom that Johnny portrayed. But that was really him! And 'Mark' helped shape my adolescence and growth. Your whole family was blessed by him. So glad you all shared so many years with him, and I'm sorry and bereaved for your loss. He should have lived forever!

The best childhood actor in TV history, and one of the most endearing personalities. Everything he did in The Rifleman seemed so natural, innocent and unscripted. Here I am today at 78 still enjoying Mark McCain. Thank you Johnny. Rest in your eternal reward.

I love the show Rifle Man. Mark is just the cutest thing. I watch it every single day. I'm watching it right now as I right this. Just found out he is no longer with us. So sad to hear. He will be missed. I will never stop watching the show. Prayers for family.

I always enjoyed watching Jonny. He was very good at his acting with Conners. I did not know he was a Mouseketeer. I pray for him. He was a trooper. And well liked by many people. And kept me from being lonely at times. There are not many like Johnny may he rest in peace. In Jesus name amen. God bless Johnnys family and friends.

I have watched the Rifleman series since I was in elementary school and I watched it this afternoon. It's really a great show, the episode I saw today brought a tear to my eye. The truths that the story brought out are just as important today as when originally enforced.

I loved every moment that I watched" Mark " on the Rifleman. To say it was a great show would be an understatement. That show was such a joy to watch and had the morals and kind of family integrity that is missing on most all of today's television.

I'm a brand-spanking new fan of Johnny Crawford! I'm 61 and never knew anything about him up until a couple of weeks ago. I'm going through a very stressful project at work and am working long hours so sometimes I sleep on the couch with the TV on. A couple of weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a sweet song being sung by a young man to a pretty girl on The Rifleman. Long story short, Johnny's singing and acting has brought me an unexpected joy for which I sorely needed during this stressful time in my life. I now have a Johnny Crawford playlist playing in the background in my office and it makes me smile. I love that the Lord speaks "Luanne" fluently and has provided me with yet another answered prayer in finding joy in unexpected places. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family now that I know about you. May you feel the warmth and love of Jesus every day and my sincerest condolences on the loss of your beloved brother. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that he's still making a... Read more

Over the years I enjoyed watching the Rifleman. Great acting from top to bottom. I have a grandson who very much resembles Johnny and ironically he is into acting himself. When you grow up with a series that you live you never forget the characters. Appreciate his work.

Just watched the episode when Lucas was trying to catch a gambling cheat and Mark was mad at his dad for gambling in the saloon every night. Love the show, it was before my time but I grew up watching it.

OMG, I had no idea Johnny Crawford was a veteran! I grew up on The Rifleman, and bore a huge crush on Johnny. And I see from the pictures that Johnny cut a really trim, handsome picture in those uniforms. You know he might not be beside you, but keep in mind they're not really gone, so long as you remember.

I just now found out he passed last year. So sad to hear he’s gone. I watched the Rifleman because of Johnny. He was a couple of years older than me. I had some of his 45 rpm records. My favorite was “Cindy’s Birthday”. Years later, I played it for my friend, Cindy, and she plays it every year on her birthday. She now watches the reruns and loves him as much as I did.

Until about fifteen years ago I had never heard of Johnny Crawford and “The Rifleman”. The series has never run in the Netherlands. One day I came across a book describing the western series of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. The part about “The Rifleman” appealed to me. I then ordered a DVD with three episodes from Amazon.com. I found the episodes more than worth ordering more. Now I have the complete series at home. It's a pleasure every time I watch an episode. I started searching the internet about Johnny to see what else there is of him. That's how I discovered that he is not only an artist, but also a singer, bandleader, narrator/reader of western stories and even presenter of music shows. A versatile person who intrigued me more and more. I now have just about everything Johnny has done and released. From vinyl to CDs, lots and lots of movies on DVD (“The Mickey Mouse Club”, “Crossbow”, “The Lone Ranger” and also the many movies in which he has appeared). What a great man he must have been. Unfortunately I never got to meet him. I do have him in my heart and I am very... Read more

Unfortunately I never got to meet him. I do have him in my heart and I am very happy that I have a lot of his material and can enjoy it every day and that I got to meet Stacey Shaffer through “Johnny Crawford Legacy”. It is now only with the mail and Facebook, but I hope to meet her in America one day. Thanks in part to Stacey & and of course to Johnny's qualities as a singer, musician and actor, I am now a very big fan of Johnny. I hope to enjoy his films and music for a long time to come. Johnny is really great.... Collapse
