Sorry bout that,


1. Yes may he rest in Peace.
2. His older Brother James Arness of Gun Smoke preceded him.
3. Both great actors.

I really liked that guy,and use to love the old Mission Impossible series a long time back.

I also remember him on Biography..he'd narrate the show etc...He had a good voice that added intrigue when he'd host that show.

He's from here where I live..(Minnesota) and actualy have run into him twice in person up here in this part of the state.He has a cabin down the road from where I live.It was about 3 years ago since I last saw him,and he'd always give me the time of day..and shake my hand.

He loved getting out in the boat hunting for a walleye..He was still in pretty good shape for his age also when I last saw him..

I've always thought about him from time..to time.Was kinda bumbed to read the news of his passing.
