Watching the show in the 70's, no one would ever guess that Dan Blocker would die so suddenly and without any warning. He did not appear to be in ill health and he seemed to be very much the happy go lucky Hoss in his final episodes. Then the in spring we all got the shocking news that he died.

Season 14 begins this week on ME TV without Blocker/Hoss and it must have been a very sad time on the set. The 14th season only lasted a few months after Blocker's death.

My thought's exactly, he looked healthy and was the same "old" Hoss, the lovable lug that we all know and love!!!!! It makes me feel so sad (other people who passed too young also)that he passed away....so full of life!!!!!
