David McCallum passed away

David McCallum, the British-born actor who broke hearts in 1960s cult show "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." has died at age 90, US media reported Monday.
McCallum, who was known to modern-day audiences for his role as a medical examiner in "NCIS," was surrounded by family at a New York hospital, CBS said.
"He was the kindest, coolest, most patient and loving father. He always put family before self," son Peter McCallum said, according to the network.
"He was a true renaissance man -- he was fascinated by science and culture and would turn those passions into knowledge.
"For example, he was capable of conducting a symphony orchestra and (if needed) could actually perform an autopsy, based on his decades-long studies for his role on NCIS."

I had seen David in a few reruns of " Uncle " and other movies and thought he was a fine actor. My lady watches " NCIS " and liked David's portrayal of a Forensic Pathologist. She noticed David's absence in the last year or so having essentially being written out. She assumed it was because of poor health.

Rest in peace, David.
