Home Improvement's Wilson dead at 61

Actor Earl Hindman, best known for playing a neighbour who dispensed folksy wisdom to Tim Allen from behind a fence that obscured his face on the television show Home Improvement, died of lung cancer Monday. He was 61.

Funeral services will include an open casket ceremony. However, the casket will be open only enough to reveal the forehead, eyes, and bridge of his nose.


(Take another look at Hindman's IMDb profile. I like the fact that it has that "No Photo Submitted" graphic in lieu of a headshot.)
