10. I'm not a follower....

but you couldn't ask for a better role model with regard to his Father Mulcahy role.

Brought me to tears more than once.......just because he was just so damn decent.

Shit. I despair that we are are creating people half as good.

11. I am not a Christian, but Fr. Mulcahey was always my model of what a Christian should be.

Mr. Christopher was a wonderful actor. May his family find comfort in his long life, and his good works, and may they be comforted.

15. Mulcahey was one of the MASH characters that got more compelling as the series went along.

I hope I can sit with him and the other late MASH stars and watch continuous reruns.

RIP Father Muscahy.

23. And here I thought we'd get to January with no more obits...

Just one more day, 2016? ONE more and you leave quietly?

Nope. Guess not.

My husband and I used to tape "M*A*S*H" episodes on VHS cassettes. We were binge-watching before binge-watching was cool. Primarily "M*A*S*H" and all things "Star Trek." I LOVED Father Mulcahy. That whole evolving cast was epic.

Cross gently, good man.
