He died about nine months ago so I wonder why they decided to bury him in January. He was billed as the "old Gunny" which is Gunnery Sgt. (three up and two down) but listed as Staff Sgt at Arlington. Anyway his portrayal of Sgt. Hartman in "FMJ" was accurate as any former Marine who went through Boot Camp at Parris Is. in the 60's can attest. The barracks even look like the 3rd Bn. MCRD as I recall and personally I get flashback nightmares when I watch the movie. He was a decent actor who appeared in a lot of straight dramatic roles like the parent of a kid who was killed in the movie "Dead Man Walking". He will be missed.
