I love to watch the Military History Channel - Mail Call and got to know him there. Frankly, I remember Full Metal Jacket but did not place him there.
I hold "Gunny" in very high regard. Even today on the Military History Channel I hear his voice on some of the sections. Simply irreplaceable. Will really miss him.
I am surprised that the Military History Channel has not mentioned his passing.
Good Luck!
Bill Long
