RIP, GK. "Get mad at dem eggs, Luke." George has always been one of my favorites.

If you ever get the chance watch Thunderbolt and Lightfoot w/ Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, and a great character played by George Kennedy.

RIP George. Thank you for your service. George spent 16 years in the US Army, served in Europe in WWII, and retired as a Captain. A great American hero and actor.

He was a great actor.

It's a shame to see him go.

Wow, he had a great run. Usually played a sympathetic guy. I will always associate him with The Dirty Dozen. I must have seen that film 15 times growing up.
