James Noble passed away yesterday at the age of 94 according to The New York Times. He is best known for playing the lovable Connecticut Governor Gene Gatling on the long running sitcom Benson.
Even though he was born in Dallas, Tx, he died in the state that he governed on TV. Something that brought a smile to my face when I read the sad news. Every morning I wake up and watch Benson on Family Net and this show never gets old. In fact, it only gets better with time. A big part of this show’s sucess was not only the chemistry between the cast, but also the fact that you wanted Governor Gatling to be your Governor. He was fair and he cared, and Noble brought a warmth to him that made you love him even more.
So today let’s honor him by letting him hear our laughter as we watch him do what he does best.
