The actor, best known for playing Wally Cleaver in '80s sitcom "The New Leave It to Beaver," died on July 27 after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was 77 years old. According to NPR, Dow's death was reported a day early in a now-deleted Facebook post that was mistakenly published. A new post was later shared via Dow's page, in which his son, Christopher, confirmed that the actor died "with his loving family at his side to see him through this journey."
