[color=Navy][/color] I just happened up on the site yesterday and was totally taken aback.  I had not heard or seen anything about the passing of Mr. Howard.  I was a big fan of his character Ernest T. Bass.  He was quite a corker.  My little brother and I tried in vain to imitate his antics.  My dad laughed loudest at Ernest T.  and quite often let loose with a "Great Day!" at some silliness he had perpetrated.  Bless your heart David, for sharing your Daddy with all of us.  My world was much richer for having Howard Morris in it. Hugs to you!
