I was going to sign on and tell you of my husband's death...but I see you
already know. Your fond and loving notices are making me laugh and cry.

My beloved Larry died peacefully and mercifully quickly. The only thing I
would like to add to Barry's loving announcement, is that Larry is also
survived by his daughter Kelly,.whom he loved deeply; his mother Pauline and
father Harry, as well as two brothers, Paul and Lanny, and sisters in law,1
niece and 3 nephews who all miss him nearly as much as I do.

Larry was easy to love..."It's nice to be nice to the nice" . thank you Larry
Gelbart.
I will cherish each and every day of the short 6 years we shared.

Sorrowfully,
Deborah Guydon Linville

My (and many others') thoughts are with you all.
HIs character was one that I loved to hate, and I truly missed him when he left
the show.
He brought many a delightful tear to my eye with his character's shenanigans and
it comforts me to know that he is no longer in pain.
With much sorrow,
P

I'm not good at expressing emotions, but I'll do my best.

My thoughts are with you, Ma'am. Your husband was a wonderful man. He will
always be with us, in our cherished memories of the role he had on M*A*SH, as
well as other productions. He won't be forgotten.

And I will cherish every day I saw of the 5 years of great humour in
M*A*S*H.
I just don't know how to express my feelings about "Ferret Face"'s
death.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Frank Burns
always got on my nerves, but at the point where he would have been
unbearable, Larry brought out his vulnerable side and made me laugh and
cry. I think he touched so many because we recognize ourselves in Frank
(like it or not...) I hope you know how many folks will miss him.

Best wishes,
Carole Duzan

My deepest sympathies to you and your family and friends -- all sorts of
favorite "Frank Burns" moments have been coming to me all day and those
thoughts brought many smiles.

Actually, one of my favorite memories of Larry came after he left the
show -- it was a commercial for an automobile battery. In a wonderful
parody of those battery commercials with the overly-cocky Robert Conrad.
there is an auto battery on Larry's shoulder and he does the "I dare you
to knock this off" bit. Suddenly LARRY is knocked out and the battery
remains in the air! Hysterical!

Again, my deepest sympathies.

To Larry Linville's wife and family,

My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family during this tragic
loss. I admit I was too young to catch Larry on M*A*S*H(I'm only 24)
but I got the chance to watch him in reruns and I also had the chance to
see his Frank Burns-type character on the 5 part miniseries Herbie, The
Love Bug. He was great in that. He was a terrific actor and comedian
and I'm sure a wonderful husband, father, brother, son and friend.
Hopefully he's in a place where he won't have to suffer anymore and who
knows, maybe he's around Col. Blake and Sgt. Zale in a more peaceful
place. During my breaks from homework I'll pop in a Herbie The love Bug
show in dedication to one man who always made being bad so darn funny.

Sincerely,
Jenna Terranova

I heard the terrible news on CKNW (Vancouver) at 10 p.m. on Monday.
All day today, some of Larry's best moments have been running during
the various newscasts on both TV and radio up here. He, and M*A*S*H
had *many* fans all over the world.

God bless you, Larry. We'll miss you so much. Thank you for 5
wonderful years!

My deepest condolences for your loss. Mr. Linville was perhaps the best comic
actor on the show, and was really the reason everyone else was able to do so
well. They had the great "Frank Burns" to bounce off of. I was saddened when he
left the show and felt M*A*S*H was much poorer because of it. I now believe
the same for the world. We are all much poorer for the loss of your beloved
husband. But heaven must be a brighter place to be.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Bless you all.

Yes .. that's exactly what I thought too. Mrs. Linville, thank you for taking
this time out to share your thoughts with us. I know this isn't an easy time
for you, but if any comfort can come from to you I hope its from the fact that

Dear Mrs. Linville,

I was so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was terrific on MASH, so
good that I always found it hard to believe that he wasn't just like
Frank Burns in real life! After reading his posts on this newsgroup, I
got the impression that he was about as far away from Frank Burns as
you could get: he seemed gentle and kind, with a great sense of humour.
My deepest condolences to you and your family. This remarkable actor
will be sadly missed.

PS) Thank-you for taking the time to post here. I hope it is a comfort
to you and although I have never posted here before, I know this group

Mrs. Linville, I would like to express my family's sorrow and
condolences for your great loss.

I would also like to take this time to thank you for your very
gracious announcement in our newsgroup during this time.

Larry had to be a true gentleman in all the best meanings of the word
to play such an insufferable character yet leave him with such
humanity that we all defend Frank even after 25 plus years.

Again, our deepest sympathies to you and yours

Your's in sorrow

I can't add much to all that's already been said, but my prayers and
sympathy to you and the rest of the Linville family. It's good to know
that he didn't suffer in the end.

Rest in peace, Larry Linville.

Dear Mrs Linville,

Although even this has been said a thousand times, I wish there
was something more that I could say.

My deepest condolences to you and your family as well as to all
the others whom your husband's life touched.

Although Mr. Linville did not stay with M*A*S*H till the end,
and he did other outstanding work, I, along with all other fans
im sure, would like to say:
GOODBYE, FAREWELL, AND AMEN

to your husband--a great actor. He will never be forgotten.

Wow 18 years later and I'm still crying. Well... I wasn't crying in 2000 because I was only 5. I know appreciate the show for what I see it is today. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you and your family are doing well.
