Jeepers, can't believe he was that old. MASH was definitely one of my all time favorite shows.

Some of us will also remember him (very fondly) as Detective Gannon on the old Dragnet show.

One final, "Just the facts, Ma'am." in his honor.

Me too.

Harry Morgan had a long and very successful career----form Frank Gannon to Colonel Potter he was a very fine actor.

RIP Mr. Morgan----you left a solid legacy.

The last few weeks I've been watching Dragnet on the antenna tv channel. Loved him on Dragnet and MASH.
