I wouldn't say living to 87 years old is a tragic ending.

I remember way back in 1965, i wrote to Ed Byrnes in the highlight of his fame. I received a postcard back from him with his signed autograph, saying how much my friendship meant to him.
I was a young 22 year old guy then and live in Perth, Western Australia.

I met Ed Byrnes at a sale in Flagstaff at the NAU dome. I felt so sorry because he was selling "Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb" I couldn't buy one at the time. He looked pretty good then. Rest in Peace Ed Byrnes.

I dont think Ed Byrnes had a tragic ending at all and certainly not a tragic life.. Reaching a ripe old age of 87 years, is a fairly good innings in my books..

On 77 Sunset Strip he was one Cool Cat. On that series he would drive into a parking space at full speed without hitting the cars on both sides. He called it the Kookie school of driving. The way he spoke he was one Hip Cool Cat. On that series he knew Surfers, Beatniks, and he knew how to reach young people when his PI bosses were unsuccessful. He also knew how to speak with girls on that show. He had a Hot Rod like the one you see on the opening credits on Happy Days. He would go on stake-outs for his bosses on that Hot Rod.
He was 1 Hip Cool Cat !!!

Ed Byrnes was a great actor saddled with a silly role that diminished his future. He should have been a movie star.

I used to enjoy 77 Sunset strip. When I visited LA I tried to find it without sucess.
I don’t think Kookie had a sad life and he lived to a decent age.

In 1992 Edd appeared in an episode of "Married with Children." Edd performed "Kookie Kookie Lend Me Your Comb" with the members of Anthrax.

He was a cool cat as someone wrote and I think he did real good with himself considering the lifestyle that was part to blame for taking him at 86 but, to me, that’s pretty darn great! I’m so glad he got away from the party stuff enough to be able to carry on with other parts to play, game host and more. RIP!

Ok, then Kookie, kookie, lend me yer comb. A pop hit by Connie Stevens. He was good as the role he played and a "teen heart- throb"

Living into your 80s is not a tragic end. Stuffing your Porsche into someone else's car on the desert is a tragic end... for the others (James Dean). Dying in a commercial aviation accident during a war bond drive is a tragic end (Carole Lombard). Dying in a crash on a rural road in a chauffeured car is a tragic end (Jayne Mansfield).

YouTube always describes deaths as "tragic" when many of them were simply normal deaths of old age. Everyone dies, but not "tragically." A tragic death is like that of James Dean or Marilyn Monroe, who died at such young ages.
