R.I.P. Carl Ballantine aka "Gruber" on "McHale's Navy"

He was 62 years old when he appeared in Just You And Me, Kid with
George Burns, Brooke Shields and Burl Ives
 
He was always good when he turned up in guest roles -- I remember especially his playing a washed-up magician that Harry befriends in an episode of Night Court.
 
I remember watching an episode of McChale's Navy when I was a little kid. They were trying to fool everyone into thinking the war was over. Everyone were in the their civilian clothes. Gruber appears in a Zoot suit. I had never seen one before. I got laughing so hard I got sick. A great show in its day.
