Prolific DOH stuntman Allan Wyatt Jr. dead at 59

[bull]

"No one spent more time in the General Lee that Allan Wyatt Jr.," said Bob Smith today when I talked to him on the phone. Wyatt was Bo Duke's stunt double and drove the GL a lot. He was probably most famous for the 230-foot record-breaking jump over a moving train...

What did he die of?

Health issues unrelated to stunt work. He had been retired for a few years now.

Wow, didn't see this coming.  

I talked to the guy lots of times at DOH events.  He flipped some cars at the shows only a few years ago.  He had a big fun-loving personality and was really good to the DOH fan community.

Wow they looked alike. Imagine the guy jumps car 230', rolls them, etc and passes away from health reason's, not stunt work? Well God Bless.
