The Actor, Parnell Roberts Has Passed Away
« on: January 26, 2010, 01:02:58 PM »

  Well Parnell Roberts died today at the age of 81. Played Adam Cartright in "Bonanza" AND Trapper John in "Trapper John M.D." Always liked his characters. Next thing I know, there won't  be any Actors left from MY Period. :-\

i loved the Trapper John show.

I still miss Bonanza. I remember trying to stay awake to watch it when I was young!
The only one left now is David Canary AKA Candy. He lives in town here. Nice guy in person.
I want to die like my grandfather did...in his sleep and not screaming like the passengers in his car!
