I am only 27 but Johnny Crawford was my childhood crush. My dad grew up watching the Rifleman and introduced me to it when I was growing up. It was my favorite show and to this day is still one of them- it's a comfort show of mine. I met Johhny back in 2014 and I am so beyond fortunate. My dad and I just happened to find an old west show traveling through Denver and decided to go not knowing he would be there. I rounded a corner and saw a sign that said "Johnny Crawford" and honestly thought it would just be memorabilia- I did NOT expect to look down from the sign to see him standing at the booth. I have NEVER been a person that goes insane to meet stars-or cared about meeting bands/etc. But when I saw Johnny-21 year old me had to turn and run out of view for a minute to compose myself. My dad all the while poking fun at me. To this day there is no one else I would be so insanely happy to see as I was him. I went back and bought several things for him to autograph... Read more

I have NEVER been a person that goes insane to meet stars-or cared about meeting bands/etc. But when I saw Johnny-21 year old me had to turn and run out of view for a minute to compose myself. My dad all the while poking fun at me. To this day there is no one else I would be so insanely happy to see as I was him. I went back and bought several things for him to autograph and honestly probably talked to him for 30+ minutes that day. He was SO KIND. My dad-being my dad-trying to embarrass me kept saying that he didn't just make my day but that he had made my LIFE. He honestly wasn't wrong- 7 years later and I STILL look back on that moment and get so immensely happy/laugh at the memories. He of course took several pictures with me and even at one point pushed my hair out of my face and kissed my cheek. He was so incredibly sweet. I am obsessed at the fact that I own stuff that he touched/signed for me. I even bought a couple records from his personal collection (though not that he probably ever played them but still.) It makes me so happy to have that and my memories. I wish I could have met him again but the once also was more than some so I'll take it.
I honestly got a little teary eyed April 29th when I heard of his passing.
Charlotte, you were married to such a kind man who inspired so many and so many loved-hopefully that helps the healing a LITTLE. You were so great to him and thank you for keeping the fans so in tune with his life when he couldn't.
My condolences to Bobby and the rest of Johnny's family as well.
I wish you all the best and hope you take comfort in the way he made others feel-the joy he brought to us all and will continue to do. ❤... Collapse
