22 year old Larry Storch & then 19 year old Bernie Swartz (Tony Curtis) served on the USS Proteus & were actually in Tokyo Bay, when Gen. MacArthur signed the Surrender Agreement with Japan on the USS Missouri! Storch will go down in television history as one of, if not the greatest 'character' actors of all time! R.I.P. Larry!

RIP Larry thanks for all the laughs

He was one of a kind that we'll never see again. I shall miss him.

Larry had a long and versatile career and will be missed. RIP

Larry was definitely one of a kind and mastered all of his characters that he played. Outstanding performer and fun to watch. Terribly missed. Rest peacefully Mr. Storch.

Larry. Hugely will be missed!!!!

I've been a fan of Larry's ever since I was 8 years old and he costarred with Forrest Tucker and Bob Burns in The Ghostbusters, one of my favorite Saturday morning kids shows back in the 70s. .He was great in whatever he appeared in or contributed his voice to. I know that 99 years is a long life, but when someone as talented, funny and by all accounts as kind as Larry Storch passes away, 99 years doesn't seem nearly long enough. Thanks for the laughs Larry...rest in peace. and and thanks to this channel for the tribute.

I was born in 1962, I don’t remember The Ghostbusters, but would definitely have watched it because Larry Storch was one of if not the funniest of the goofball actors, I’m a western fanatic and F Troop is still one of the funniest sitcom ever written... you will be missed Larry!!!

That is so Cool. I'll enjoy the remembrance of him and the enjoyment of his work as a young person and kid.😊

Nice tribute video to a funny character actor. I just saw him in an episode of Love Boat recently. What a long and interesting life he had.

The reason I watched F-Troop . Didnt know he was also the voice of the prof. on Tennessee . Grew up watching both . RIP and THANKS for the memories .

My father served on the Proteus with these two. The Proteus was a submarine tender and none of the submarines they serviced was ever lost. My dad had a picture of the Proteus with 12 Japanese submarines, six on each side, tied to it after the Japanese surrender their vessels. Also pictures of the Japanese crews. The Proteus also served as Admiral John McCain's flagship at times.

I remember Larry Storch from F-Troop when I was a kid in the 60s. Larry was always instantly recognizable and hilarious in every role he played. He was a unique talent and will never be duplicated. Rest well, Larry, you earned it!

Larry Storch was one of those Comedians like John Candy or a Fred Willard that can just crack you up with their hilarious mannerisms alone, but then make you laugh even harder with their genius array of comical characters! RIP Larry, and thanks for all those years of GIGGLES!!!

I met Mr Storch in Lake George NY in 1966 when I was a kid. He was the nicest person. I still have his picture with his autograph.🙂

I love his line from "The Great Race": "Give a man some fighting room..!"

(AKA: Steve Fredericks) I met Larry in St. Petersburg, Florida around 1959. We had dinner together and had a long talk. He was doing the night club circuit, trying to climb out of his stifling Jackie Gleason contract years. It didn't take long for Larry to get back on top again. I ran into him again in Los Angeles in 1977 at K-EARTH Radio. A genuinely nice guy.

Thanks, I always liked Larry Storch, he often brought a manic intensity to his roles that made him stand out, he had great timing and pacing to his dialogue, as well. To be that original and do it well was an unusual achievement. I hope someone writes a life and times biography of him.

I remember watching _F Troop_ in reruns in the early 70s as a kid (my dad loved the show). Thinking about it now, that show had such a hip, self-awareness to it that it's even funnier today!

Larry Storch and Tony Curtis (whose real name was Bernard Schwartz) served on the USS Proteus, a submarine tender. My uncle was a crewmember also, and I wonder if they met.

Does anyone know that John Wayne gave Larry his personal cowboy hat in 1966??? It was supposed to happen on Jonny Carson but didn't John Wayne was meeting with doctors the next day so after he left the set of Madox that day he gave Larry his personal cowboy Stetson hat and said something like HELL I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT BACK FROM THIS VISIT ITS GONNA BE BAD AGAIN. Wayne already knew in 1966 he medical issues.

Busy man for a long time at it 👍 I remember F Troop & a slew of Larry's TV & movie apperances.

Very funny 🙏

Never forget Agarn, he was hilarious.

@@JOECANDELA22 I was aware that it had indeed aired in the US, but due to infelicitous scheduling, it failed to gain a large audience (my original comment is of course an exaggeration). The show was more than a little cheesy, but great entertainment, and because of the involvement of the two major stars (who have both passed away), it has great nostalgia value today. Plus, it had a great John Barry score!

I loved f troop

I liked f troop as a kid. Sgt. Agarn was really funny.

I didn’t realize all of this wow he was more talented than I gave him credit for and boy I apologize to his family and friends boy Hollywood sees everything!! Why didn’t they give him the credit he sure deserved are they Blind to all of his efforts they should be more ashamed than me !!

So Larry just barely died about a month ago ! I didn't hear about it or know. RIP Larry ! I never knew about his service or his shipmates either. It's nice to have that background on him - and the others too. It looks like those guys took care of each other in the business..at least helped each other along a bit.

Great Video! I Recognize the clip, Jeanie turned Space Chimpanzee into Human, The South America General on Homer Pyle,. Ghost in Busters,. I didn't know he was voice of Chum Lee. What Can I Say,. I Loved Larry Storch Forrest Tucker

Tony Curtis, yes, I would believe it. as junior EMs they observed the Japanese surrender from the Sub-Tender they were assigned to.

He really got around. Most famous guy at our school was Seth Green. The guy from Robot Chicken and The Simpsons. Used to have class with his sister as a kid.

His character was Cpl. Randolph Agarn, not Agon.

"Married With Children" when that what's her name always wear the Larry Storch School of Acting and that what's his name brother would make fun and that what's her name mother would make fun.
