May his memory be for a blessing. FWIW, my dad, who was a concentration camp survivor, used to love watching Hogan's Heroes. The Nazis were presented as buffoons who were outsmarted every time and were the butt of every joke. That always made dad smile. https://t.co/asicByAYkSThe Twitter account of the television series The Young and the Restless sent condolences to Clary's friends and family in a tweet. Clary made a cameo in the debut episode of the series.

So sad. Loved him on Hogan’s Heroes

LeBeau! I remember him feeding the german shepard dog!
