Well, Harry Morgan has passed on at 96, this morning in L.A.

 

Most of us remember him for his role as Col. Potter, M.D. in M*A*S*H*. He won an Emmy for his acting that part. He also played in 'Pete and Gladys', and as Joe Friday's partner in 'Dragnet'.

He wasn't a megastar, but his portrayals were memorable.

Sometimes, "less" is one helluva lot more. I'll miss Harry Morgan's acting a great deal.

The picture above is from the show "The Tontine"... where he was the last remaining among his WWI friends... and told his Korean War friends about it, sharing a special vintage with them...

Fitting, I think. Bye, Sherm. Bless your memory, Harry.

Well, that sucks. Loved him in MASH.

96 years is a long lifetime these days.

RIP Col. Potter.

Being old as I am, I remember him in December Bride, which was the show Pete and Gladys spun off from. He was the next door neighbor.

You had a good run, Harry. You will be missed.
