He was in a ton of good movies.  Everybody mentions Coll Hand Luke, but I also like The Eiger Sanction, The Dirty Dozen, In Harm's Way, The Sons of Katie Elder, Cahill US Marshall...

It's like a neighbor passed away...

RIP George.

George was good at playing bad guys as well as good.

Just a good ol boy.

He worked right up until the end, also.  91 is a good run.

RIP

I thought his role as a bad guy in Cahill, U.S. Marshall was one of the best! RIP!

Will miss his appearances on new flicks , RIP, but we have him to remember on the ones he's already in.

Just a tidbit
