Community Comments:

Brooke M. Pope: Richard Thomas is not deceased, he's alive and well, I just spoke with him. This HOAX should be taken down immediately. It's very upsetting to family and friends.

Sanderson: I wish I could speak to him and get him to tell some stories about his early days on the Waltons show.

Susan Morris: I have watched the Waltons since it has been on television. I am very sad about the news of his passing away when did he pass and what from. Crying now very upset.

Debbie Toornman: Hmm. His death is not on any news stations nor have any of his Walton family report this. Maybe his death is unconfirmed.
