From wikipedia:
Suffering from pancreatic cancer, Crenna died on January 17, 2003 of heart failure in Los Angeles, California at the age of 76. At the time of his death, he had a recurring role in the television series Judging Amy. On the show, his death was recognized by the death of the character he portrayed.
---------------------------------------------
I am old enough to remember him from "Our Miss Brooks" and "The Real McCoys" (sheesh!) but came to really enjoy the series of murder mysteries (I think there were 7) he filmed featuring the detective Frank Janek. By the way he and Tyne Daly worked together before Judging Amy, in one of the Janek films, The Forget-Me-Not Murders.
