Loved him in Full Metal Jacket and his own show.

Aww, sad to hear. He made Full Metal Jacket such a legendary film. "You had best unfuck yourself, or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!"

I got to see him in iraq a few times, he was a funny dude. I honestly though he looked wore out way back then.

RIP bro, and thanks for the laughs :salute:

My friend who went to Marine boot camp in the 1970's said full metal jacket was the best movie of how boot camp was in the 1970's now it's watered down a little. To bad the Gunny went before his time he died of pneumonia and was only 74 years old to young in my book. Pneumonia gets a lot of older folk all most took my Mom out twice why I got the pneumonia shot last year since I am getting up in age. He will be missed.

I saw him years ago aboard MCAS Futenma, he was the guest of honor at our Ball.

Semper Fidelis Gunny.
