Can you name all these side characters on The Waltons?

Only a Waltons superfan can name all of these characters.

 Warner Brothers

The nostalgic drama The Waltons ran for nine seasons and portrayed the trials and tribulations of a loving family trying to make ends meet during the depression and into WWII.

While the Walton family was always front and center, over the course of 212 episodes there were plenty of other characters who made recurring appearances.

Here are 15 people who were in multiple episodes of the show. Can you name them all?

Easy was working for John at the mill after Jason & Ben joined the military. He was careless, backed the truck up into the mill, destroying some of the equipment & breaking Jim Bob's arm.
