Larry Storch, the comedic character actor who also did voiceover work and impressions and was best known for his role as Corporal Randolph Agarn on “F Troop,” has died. He was 99.
His family released a statement on his Facebook page, saying, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share with you the news our beloved Larry passed away in his sleep overnight. We are shocked and at a loss for words at the moment. Please remember he loved each and every one of you and wouldn’t want you to cry over his passing. He is reunited with his wife Norma and his beloved F Troop cast and so many friends and family.”

Can't believe F Troop was only on for 2 years. Loved that show and always liked Larry. He was born and died in NYC. May the Lord comfort his family.
Really a sad two days in the celeb death news department
Rest in peace, Larry.
I, too, loved that show.
The whole cast was marvelous.
RIP
He was a great driving instructor on an episode of Columbo (Negative Reaction).
Well, damn it! Larry’s very best role was “Charlie the Drunk” in Car 54. If you are a fan and have never seen this, you are in for a treat. RIP
“The whole cast was marvelous.”
Yes, they really were!
I’ll have to look for that one. I still watch Columbo as much as I can. Love that show, watching him get the better of those who look down on him never gets old!
Thanks, I will watch that. Love Car 54, it’s a bit before my time but have seen many episodes.
Back when there was actual comedy on TV!
“We are shocked!”
I have DVDs of the both series F-Troop & Car 54.
I love screwball comedies!
“Who says I’m dumb!”
That driving examiner gig was so unexpected - a big treat.

Meet him a few years ago and thanked him for all the joy he brought. He was a genuinely nice man.
This is one of the best.
