I seem to recall an episode with him at the piano in the MASH unit bar. He kept running thru a song because he could not remember how to play the ending. LOL RIP |

His son is autistic and he spent a great deal of time working with autistic children. A very good man by all accounts. RIP sir. |

In an episode of Mash the character Fr Mulchay said the following which would also be a fitting epitaph for Mr Christopher "M*A*S*H: Blood Brothers (#9.18)" (1981)
Lt./Capt. Father Francis J. Mulcahy: I want to tell you about two men. Each facing his own crisis. The first man you know rather well. The second is a patient here. Well, the first man thought he was facing a crisis. But what he was really doing was trying to impress someone. He was looking for recognition, encouragement, a pat on the back. And whenever that recognition seemed threatened he reacted rather childishly. Blamed everyone for his problems but himself because he was thinking only of himself. But the second man was confronted with the greatest crisis mortal man can face, the loss of his life. I think you will agree that the second man had every right to be selfish. But instead he chose to think not of himself, but of a brother. A brother! When the first man saw the dignity and the selflessness of the second man, he realized how petty and selfish he had… I… I… I had been. It made me see something more clearly than I've ever seen it before. God didn't put us here for that pat on the back. He created us so he could be here himself. So he could exist in the lives of those he created, in his image. RIP |

Toronto, that is a great episode! I have the entire mash series on dvd. But that episode I remember from watching it on tv when I was young. Always stuck with me. Also great performance by Patrick Swayze! The highest praise I can give William Christopher is he has played the only priest character I actually liked. Wonderfully played. |

On reflection, maybe THE way to close out 2016. RIP. |

Always gave a good and sensitive performance in MASH – another sad loss. |
