    I was sad when I read this. He had a long run though, RIP.

    Harry Morgan was a class act. Not many actors in Hollyweird that I respect but this guy was one of them.

    A great character actor who will be fondly remembered for his two most famous roles.

    RIP and thanks for the memories Harry.

    I loved seeing him in his earlier days acting in the old Westerns but his best works were definitely Sgt. Bill Gannon in Dragnet and Col. Sherman Tecumseh Potter on MASH.

    Harry Morgan 1915-2011 RIP
