Thursday was a crappy day, as John Ritter also passed away unexpectedly while working on his TV show.

After graduating from high school in 1950, Cash worked briefly in the automotive business in Detroit before enlisting in the U. S. Air Force. Serving stateside for a year, Cash was stationed in Germany as a radio intercept operator with Security Service.

Cool!
