He had not only a long life, but a long career. He is in one of my favorite Christmas movies, "Holiday Affair." RIP Mr. Morgan.

R.I.P., Col. Potter.

The role of Sherman T. Potter was made tailor made for Morgan, and he took it and ran. Unforgettable character.

One of the greatest sitcom actors of all time and one of the few tv actors that had still been around from the 1950's. Sherman Potter was a great character and Mr. Morgan was great in that role. R.I.P. Harry.

Colonel Sherman T. Potter was the best, make no horse hockey, beaver biscuits, or buffalo bagels about it.

Godspeed, Mr. Morgan. You'll never be forgotten.

Sad to hear the news of Harry's passing. He had a long and well-lived life and a highly successful career. He will be missed...

That's one of my favorite Christmas movies, too. RIP Harry.

On the finale of M.A.S.H. when everyone was sharing what they planned to do when they went home, Col. Potter said, I will just be happy to be Mrs. Potter's Mr. Potter. That was so touching!

His longevity both personally and professionally reminded me of this line from a Star Trek - TNG episode.

RIP Harry Morgan.

When I put it on my fb that he had just passed away, I found out that a lot of kids my age actually knew who he was, and not just from MASH. That's saying a lot about his talent considering that a lot of people in show business today will not be remembered ten years from now.
