Saw where he died today. James Best also was on The Andy Griffith Show.

You know, all these years, I've never seen his characters name written out ( or just never paid attention before).

I always thought it was "Roscoe Peco Train" which I always thought was pretty stupid, only to find out that I am.

Roscoe goes to that perpetual brunt of another get-away in the sky. RIP

He was great as Roscoe...

However, as Dewey Barksdale in Ode to Billy Joe...

RIP Rosco P. Coltrane. I'll never forget watching the Dukes of Hazzard on Friday nights.

Great show. At least he's reunited with Flash once again, the best dog in all of Hazzard County

I emailed him a few years ago and he was kind enough to write me back. Dukes is one of my favorite shows of all time, and Roscoe and Boss were my two favorite characters because they were played with so much charisma and originality. Rest in peace, Mr. Best.

Also the NYT says he was in the Caine Mutiny with Bogart (I saw the movie in passing but don't remember Best) among other legends.



Its Rosco (no 'e') Purvis Coltrane .


Rosco was always in 'hot pursuit' although he knew exactly where 'dem Duke boys' lived & could have arrested them any time

Nostalgia. Huge smile as I type.
