Bummer. 
At least he will keep making people laugh for many years to come. I don't see MASH reruns vanishing from TV any time soon, in large part because of him.
He will be missed.

By his account: "There is not another bunch of actors that can come within a mile of this bunch..." referring to the cast of M*A*S*H...
An excellent actor on an excellent show. He will be missed.

I remember his one movie role in "Support Your Local Sheriff" as the mayor. He had so many good lines in that one role. He will be missed.

R.I.P. Harry Morgan
As Col. Sherman T. Potter....he was what George Patton would've been if he had a bigger heart and
a bit more revulsion to war.

Hear, here. We need a few more Colonel Potters-- or at least people who can play him convincingly.

Admittedly, when I first saw this, I thought it was Harry Morgan from Dexter. Felt disappointed. But I'm still disappointed for this loss of life.
R.I.P., Harry Morgan. You were loved.
