Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope for the best for the families. This will have a big affect on the basketball program as well. I used to fly single engine aircraft and will be interested in what happened.

I always considered Harry Morgan to be one of the great actors of all time. He appears in dozens of TV shows, movies, etc. He played Detective Bill Gannon on "Dragnet" in the 1960's, as well as Col. Potter in the MASH series in the 1970's to 80's.

Great talent. Goodbye, Sophie.

Thanks for letting us know. My dad loved this guy and MASH and so did I when we used to watch it together.

I also saw him in The Ox-Bow Incident. Great performance...check this movie out if you haven't seen it. It's really a Henry Fonda movie and great in it as well.

Great actor I liked him, 96 WOW!

What a shame...Great guy and actor...
