Deaths in 2018: Ken Berry, Known Best for Role in TV Sitcom 'F Troop'


From the December 3, 2018, Chicago Sun-Times "Actor was known for role in 1960's sitcom 'F Troop."

KEN BERRY, 85

Died December 1, 2018

Played the affable and clumsy Captain Wilton Parmenter in the 1960s sitcom "F Troop."

It was only on from 1965 to 1967 but has lived on in syndication.

After "F Troop" he appeared in "Mayberry R.F.D" and "Mama's Family" beginning in 1983."

What a funny cast:

Sergeant O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker)
Corporal Agarn  (Larry Storch)
Wrangler Jane  (Melody Patterson)

And all the other inept soldiers as well as the equally inept Hekawi Indians

This was one funny, although today politically incorrect TV show.

I Am Chuckling as I remember how the Heckawi Indians got their name right now.
