The Tansey's in Hollywood

Sherry Tansey was a prolific henchie in scores of westerns from the early 1930s through the mid 1940s, and many of these films were associated with his brother Bob who was involved in the production.

There's a profile of Sherry Tansey on the Old Corral, including some fond remembrances of "Uncle Sherry" from Dave Tansey.
