Merlin Olsen died.  I find this worth noting for only one reason--though as far as I know he was a worthy man--he resembled my father very strongly.  This led to the occasional moment where my father was thought to be Mr. Olsen, ordinary enough.  However, the better moment is that a friend of my dad's got on an elevator with Mr. Olsen some years ago...and thought he was my father.  *grin*

Having seen (and met) your father, I agree, he *does* look a lot like the late Mr. Olson.

Just saw musical Little House on the Prairie and friend and I remarked-no Mr. Garvey in it.:( We thought he was the neatest character. I know I liked him as Father Murphy too. Its sad, he seemed a nice, nice man.

From what little I've heard, he was very nice. I mostly know him from old florist commercials.
