I'll miss the big lug.  Always a big Bonanza fan, I also admired Matt Dillon too.  And, it's good to see such a big man make it to almost 90 -- we were both 6' 4", and big people don't generally live as long...

RIP, Marshall.

BTW, if you have channel 50 from Sac'to on your cable (it's Ch. 31 on my Comcast menu), they are now an affiliate of "Me TV" and they're doing a "Gunsmoke" marathon next Saturday

Good point Rod, a fact I'm aware of too!
