The Squeegee is Silent: RIP Dave Madden

It is with a heavy heart that we must tell you readers that the beloved actor who played Bernard Walton has passed away. Dave Madden died today at the age of 82. For many, he was the grumpy but lovable band manager on The Partridge Family. But for us AIO fans, he will always be remembered as Odyssey's resident curmudgeon window washer.

Dave acted in nearly 100 episodes of Odyssey and performed at some of the live shows. Besides Bernard, he played many others such as Metal Guy from The Great Wishy Woz and Eric Von Warberg in An Act of Nobility.

We can all remember the joy and humor he brought us from his many years of acting as we grieve the passing of one of our Odyssey family. Our prayers are with the Madden family at this time.

The squeegee is silent.

    What sad news. Bernard was always one of my favorites. Great personality and sense of humor, and I'm sure he was an amazing person in the real word as well.
    Prayers definitely with Dave's family!!
