Sadly another great actor has passed away.

If anyone remembers the TV show “Emergency”? Randolph Mantooth who played the role of the quirky but funny paramedic “John Gage” passed away yesterday after several years of illness. He was 80 years old.
Ok
I remember watching the show while growing up and still watch some of the reruns still to this day. It was a well done show that I often thought about being a firefighter, but health related issues would most likely hold me back?

Rest In Peace Mr Mantooth. Squad 51 out!

6. I see nurses smoking a good bit.

I used to know a doctor who smoked, but he's dead. But it's pretty common to see nurses who smoke, at least around here.

5. Aw, thank you for the share. Sad to see him go. :candle:

Made me happy to know that he, Kevin Tighe and Robert Fuller were all still with us (until now). And Kent McCord from Adam 12.
