R.I.P., Bubba. Really enjoyed your "Hightower" role and seeing you in the highlight reals from past Baltimore Colt games.

Oh wow. Sad news.


I really liked him in the Police Academy movies as well (and I too remember his appearance on Married With Children- classic!).

I also remember him from Blue Thunder the tv series along with Dick Butkus.



R.I.P. Officer Hightower.
