Father Mulcahey and Major Winchester

[manlyfan76]

This one hurts.

William Christopher aka Father Mulcahey from M*A*S*H has bookened the long list that 2016 is now infamous for.
Hotlips said it best:

M*A*S*H star Loretta Swit, who played Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, shared in a separate statement to THR: "Our Dear Bill and his goodness are a great argument for there being a heaven. I never heard him complain or lose his temper. Everyone adored him. A great sense of humor and a great humanitarian. He became TV's quintessential padre as Father Mulcahy on M.A.S.H. It was the most perfect casting ever known. He was probably responsible for more people coming back to the church. If God is nigh, then surely he or she will welcome Bill with open arms."

His agent, Mitchell K. Stubbs, tweeted that the 75-year-old he died on Saturday of bladder cancer at his home in Newport, Oregon.

For his work on MASH, Stiers was twice Emmy nominated for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy or variety or music series, in 1981 and 1982, and he earned a third Emmy nomination for his performance in NBC miniseries The First Olympics: Athens 1896 as William Milligan Sloane, the founder of the US Olympic Committee.
