RIP James Arness

A decorated war veteran who turned to acting when he came home. Best known for his starring role in Gunsmoke (the longest running drama on TV), his career spanned many decades. He was the brother of Peter Graves and the resemblance was unmistakable.

RIP sir. Thanks for a lifetime of quality entertainment.:candle:

He will be remembered in re-runs for many , many years .

Both he and John Wayne provided many hours of western entertainment .

I hope he finds Miss Kitty and settles down now .

Always a favorite of mine. I can still hear Chester saying "Marshall Dillon" in his country drawl.
