Ken Berry, star of ‘F Troop,’ dead at 85

Rest in peace, Captain.
Ken Berry, the actor perhaps best known for his portrayal of Capt. Wilton Parmenter on the TV comedy series “F Troop,” died Saturday at age 85, according to reports.

His death was announced on Facebook by his former wife, actress Jackie Joseph-Lawrence.

“With very deep sorrow, I must inform friends of Ken Berry that he died a short time ago,” she wrote.

Later, Berry’s “F Troop” co-star, Larry Storch, posted a message on Facebook:

“Dear friends. We are sad to let you know our beloved Captain, Mr Ken Berry passed away tonight,” Storch wrote. “We just spoke with Jackie Joseph who confirmed the devastating news. We are at a true loss for words. Ken, we hope you know how much you were loved. Goodnight Captain. We miss you already.”

This show absolutely cracked me up when it was on TV about 30 years ago.
I still remember the crazy stuff the various characters used to say.
I just watched an episode on TV, it still cracks me up.
RIP Ken, you were a fun guy.
