89, Natural Causes. Dude was in a ton of movies and TV shows. My fave, the Muppet Movie, were he ran a chain of frog leg shacks.
I didn't know this about him:
"He was among the first wave of U.S. soldiers to land at Normandy during the D-Day invasion and the only member of his Army unit to survive. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg. Later he was bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and survived a massacre of prisoners.
In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts."
It will be an odd day when we hear on the news, "the last living World War 2 veteran passed away today," but it will probably be upon us in the coming decade.
