If I am asked about a character in a military film I remember it being him. Doesn't matter which film, I always see him and hear the lines in his voice. Especially Navy.

Can’t complain about going at 96. I doubt I will get anywhere close to that.

He was great in Alias Smith & Jones too.

Rest his soul

That is amazing that I never noticed. If you think of how he speaks, the accent is very very close.
