Larry Storch, a television actor best known for his role in the '60s sitcom "F Troop," died Thursday, according to a statement shared by his family on Facebook. He was 99.

"It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share with you the news our beloved Larry passed away in his sleep overnight. We are shocked and at a loss for words at the moment. Please remember he loved each and every one of you and wouldn't want you to cry over his passing. He is reunited with his wife Norma and his beloved F Troop cast and so many friends and family," the statement read.
A comedic actor who also did voiceover work, Storch played the scheming Corporal Randolph Agarn on "F Troop" and was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1967 for his performance on the show.
"F Troop," which ran for two seasons on ABC, was a satirical Western about bumbling soldiers and peaceful Native Americans at a fictional Army outpost in the Old West. The politically incorrect series featured sight gags, slapstick comedy and White actors -- including Don Rickles -- playing Native Americans.
The New York native made guest appearances in dozens of TV series throughout his long career, including "I Dream of Jeannie," "Get Smart," "The Flying Nun" and "The Love Boat."
Storch was also a familiar face on popular variety shows of the era, including "Sonny and Cher," "Laugh-In" and "Hollywood Squares."

RIP, 99 years was a full life. Still amazes me that so many classic shows that I remember as being syndicated reruns only ran two or three seasons.

I knew him as the scheming Corporal Randolph Agarn on F Troop but I did not know he was also the voice of some of my favorite cartoons I watched growing up.

These would include The Pink Panther Show, Mr Whoopee on Tennessee Tuxedo and his traveling tales and Cool Cat to name a few.

As I got older I remember him on Married with Children where he was Al Bundy's childhood hero. (Al Bundy's daughter Kelly attended an acting school operated by Larry.

He also appeared in more than 25 films and numerous TV Shows.

During World War II, he served in the United States Navy where he was shipmates with Tony Curtis on the submarine tender USS Proteus (AS-19).



The Phil Silvers Show, F Troop, and Mchales Navy were all on about the same time.
That was some pretty stiff competition

Another great character actor. And said to be a fine person- RIP

RIP, you and F Troop gave this young teenage 2 years of laughs and anticipation of what will happen to the water tower on the next show.

99! Good for him, RIP Larry Storch.

**at some point later** Who says I'm stupid?!"-- Agarn.

RIP!

But I can't believe how "PC" that article has to be.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Sailor.
God Bless.

Anyone remember him from a Saturday morning show "The Ghost Busters"? Two guys and a gorilla going after ghosts? Spencer (Storch), Tracy (who was the gorilla) and Kong (Forrest Tucker).

RIP Mr. Storch

Of the principals in the cast, Larry Storch is the final one to leave us. James Hampton (Hannibal Dobbs) passed last year.

Fun fact: F Troop is the Mass. State Police barracks that provides security for Logan International in Boston to the hilarity of all.

Now that you mention it- Yes. I loved shows like F Troop growing up. Classic comedy and characters.

I remember him on I Dream of Jeannie.

When I was a kid, F Troop, and McHales Navy were my two favorite shows.

I guess I better watch a few of them again.

R.I.P. Mr. Storch
