R.I.P Mr. Morgan. I hope I last that long. 96!! :darnkids

Just read this myself. Truly sad news indeed. I am a huge fan of both M*A*S*H and the character of Colonel Sherman T Potter.

R.I.P Sherm!

Rest in peace sir......

The snippet that keeps running though my head was where his jeep got run over by a tank and he walks up to it sadly, and then, being former cavalry, shoots it!

RIP Col. Potter!

Weird, I feel like someone I knew from my childhood has died. What
a kindred personality he was.

MASH & Dragnet two great characters - he will be missed.

Loved him in Mash. What a long life he had. R.I.P., Colonel.

RIP indeed. Great in Dragnet, and great in MASH (in both roles that he played - Col. Potter and General Steel.)

Goodbye, farewell, and amen.
