While not exactly a surprise at that age, 2016 just couldn't resist. And in a twist of fate, he passed exactly a year after Trapper died. Come december 31st, someone hide Alan Alda and Loretta Swit.

I loved him as Father Mukcahy, and if you play a role for so long, I'm convinced it blends with your real world persona, and so I imagine he was a kind and loving man in real life as well.

I'm glad 2016 is dead now buried in an unmarked hole.
