How many of the MASH TV series cast are still with us?

I looked around to see, and it appears we're into a minority still above ground. Hopefully we can hold on to the remaining gems for a while.

Still kicking

Jamie Farr, 90, (Cpl. Maxwell Klinger)

Mike Farrell, 85, (Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt)

Gary Burghoff, 82 (Cpl. Walter “Radar” O’Reilly)

Departed

Loretta Swit (Maj. Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan)

William Christopher (Father Mulcahy)

Harry Morgan (Col. Sherman T. Potter)

David Ogden Stiers (Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III)

Wayne Rogers (Capt. “Trapper” John McIntyre)

Larry Linville (Maj. Frank Burns)
