Dennis Weaver, whose amiable aw-shucks manner made his television characters equally welcome in the Wild West and on the streets of New York, died of cancer Friday at his Colorado home, his family disclosed yesterday. He was 81.
He became a 1950s pop-culture fixture as the stiff-legged and much-parodied Deputy Chester Goode on the smash TV series "Gunsmoke," and he revived that Western connection the last nine years by hosting the Western channel for the Starz TV network.
