Two legends in one week. First, the sheriff of Mayberry, and now Quinton McHale.
Borgnine starred in the 1955 film Marty, and portrayed Captain McHale in McHale’s Navy from 1962-1966. He also voiced “Mermaid Man” on Spongebob SquarePants. He was 95 years old.

I cannot express my sorrow at the loss of Ernest Borgnine. He was a true Hollywood icon and a dear friend. My prayers go out to the family.

R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine. Rare to see a man of so much talent and wit. He was great in RED, Airwolf, Dirty Dozen.

You and me both! RT @ESPNMcGee: God speed Ernest Borgnine. I knew him as Dominic on Airwolf. Lil Girl knew him as Mermaid Man on Spongebob.

Oh, no! Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine has died at 95. I really wish I had met him and got his autograph at Dragon*Con last year. 🙁
