killed in a car wreck
bullet::::- jesse duke (denver pyle), referred to by just about everyone in hazzard other than boss hogg as "uncle jesse", is the patriarch of the duke clan, and the father-figure to all of the dukes who stay with him on the somewhat dilapidated "duke farm". jesse apparently has no children of his own, and happily provides for his nephews and niece in the unexplained absence of all of their parents (gy waldron, the creator of the show, states on the dvds that their parents were killed in a car wreck, but it was never mentioned in the show). in the third broadcast episode, "mary kaye's baby", jesse says that he has delivered many babies, including bo and luke. jesse duke, in his youth, had been a ridge-runner in direct competition with boss hogg whom he always calls "j.d.". however, while both boss hogg and uncle jesse would scowl at the mention of the other's name, the two enjoyed a lifelong "friendship" of sorts, with one helping the other when in desperate need. jesse educated his nephews against hogg, and often provides the cousins with inspirational sage advice. uncle jesse drives a white 1973 ford f-100 pickup truck. in the barn, he also has his old moonshine-running car, called "sweet tillie" in its first appearance (in the first-season episode "high octane"), but referred to as "black tillie" in subsequent appearances. in the second-season episode "follow that still" and the sixth-season episode "the boars nest bears", the marriage to and death of his wife is mentioned; he also mentions marrying her in the first-season episode "luke's love story". his cb handle is "shepherd".

bullet::::- luke duke (tom wopat) is the dark-haired, older duke boy. more mature and rational than his cousin bo, he is typically the one who thinks of the plan that will get the two out of whatever trouble they have got into. luke wears a checked blue shirt (a plain blue shirt in most, though not all, second-series episodes) and a denim jacket over it in first season and a few later second-season episodes. he is a veteran of the united states marine corps and a former boxer. luke was the first duke to perform the "hood slide" across "the general lee", which is seen in the opening credits of the show (a shot taken from the second episode, "daisy's song"). according to tom wopat the slide was an accident, because his foot got caught on the side of the general lee when he attempted to jump across the hood; he also caught his arm on the hood's radio antenna, resulting in such antennas being removed from later versions of the general lee. however, the "hood slide" quickly proved popular and became a regular staple of episodes. the only episode to directly reference the age difference between luke and bo is in the seventh season opener, the "flashback" episode "happy birthday, general lee", where it is stated that luke had already been in the marines while bo was in his last year at high school. though bo and luke share the cb call sign "lost sheep", in the season one episode "money to burn", luke refers to himself (singularly) as "sittin' duck".
