    Jul 8, 2012 - RIP Ernest Borgnine. #1

    Oscar-winning film star Ernest Borgnine dies in LA at age 95 | The Upshot - Yahoo! News


    Always enjoyed him. His autobiography was quite good, if you like that sort of thing.


    Borgnine joined the United States Navy in 1935, after graduation from James Hillhouse High School[6] in New Haven, Connecticut. He was discharged in 1941, but re-enlisted when the United States entered World War II and served until 1945 (a total of ten years), reaching the rank of Gunner's Mate 1st Class. He served aboard the destroyer USS Lamberton (DD-119). His military decorations included the Navy Good Conduct Medal, American Defense Service Medal with Fleet Clasp, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal.

    What a class act. Good movie? Bad movie? Borgnine didn't care!

    R.I.P., there was not a role he played that I did not enjoy. He had a great sense of humor.
    And who could forget this...

    It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
    - General George Patton

    You cannot complain about that....95 years old and still starring in TV and movies up until last year I believe.
    R.I.P Mr. Borgnine!!

    Quentin McHale goes to Davey Jones Locker. He was 95? Good for him. He lived a good life.

    Well, I should live a long time then. And yes, I knocked on wood after typing that.

    Another fine actor leaving us. From what I'd seen of him recently, I would have bet on him outliving Jan Michael Vincent...
