RIP James Best

To this day I still use Roscoe's mannerisms for so many things.
- That famous "gyu-gyu-jst" for being excited.
-I call my dog "velvet ears" all the time and when we go for a ride I always say "buckle up for safety, Flash" Even though her name is not Flash.
-I also had another dog I always called "my lil' fat buddy"
-"it's hot pursuit time" for driving fast.

Just so many others. They are like second instinct for me. Great actor. I loved that he always said he got his Roscoe voice from the way he talked to his grand daughters. I use that voice all the time.
 
Wow, was just reading around and found out he was a WWII veteran who joined the US Army Air Corps as a B-17 bomber gunner in 1944 and later became an MP while stationed in Germany.
 
He was once considered a "Leading man"

Check out his episode in "The Twilight Zone"

So glad he did'nt go down that path
