Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the family of Ken Kercheval, I am very sorry to learn of his death. He was a good actor. May the God of comfort continue to be with all of you.

A great actor. Enjoyed him in Dallas. My condolences on your loss and may God comfort you during this difficult time.

Ken... you were a very talented actor. I lived for that Friday Night Lineup on CBS: "Hulk"; "Dukes"; and "Dallas". My favorite scenes with you were (1) when Cliff kicked Afton out of the house after destroying his mama's company; (2) the first loving meeting of Cliff with his mother, offering her licorice with the two of them crying and embracing! I will miss you! I hope that you and the other "Dallas" cast and crew members are having fun with each...

I liked it when he played the part of Cliff Barnes so well. Especially when he got 'dumped' on by JR. Loved his reactions when JR Ewing's name came up in his presence.

I am sorry regarding the loss of your loved one. May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family, during these difficult times.

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the Family's...My condolences to the Family's..

Rest In Peace

For Ken's family - great sympathy for you all on the passing of Ken. For others and myself, a sad loss of a good and talented actor especially when he played rival Cliff Barnes to JR Ewing.

Blessings ...
