Sorry to hear that, don't know how I missed seeing that in the news. I liked him too, not just in Walking Tall but in other things I saw him in. Very emotional actor. He once played a master criminal that stumped LE in either Streets of San Fran or Hawaii Five-0.

The original Walking Tall remains one of my favorite movies. The remake with Duane Johnson not so much.

To be honest, I thought he already had died.
