RIP. His portrayal of a priest was probably the best ever on television.

RIP.

According to Wikipedia, Mr. Christopher was a descendant of Paul Revere. (Didn’t know that...)

“Look on the bright side: When they tell us to serve our time in Purgatory, we can say, ‘No thanks, I’ve done mine.’”

Thanks for the laughs, padre.

Maybe the perfect punctuation to a rough year for celebrities. Not a main character, but a memorable one. RIP.

I enjoyed MASH despite the political stuff that seeped in later in the series.

Mulcahy and Friedman were two of my favorites. Also, Colonel Flagg.

RIP
