Comedian and actor Ronnie Schell, beloved for his role as Duke Slater on “Gomer Pyle,” has passed away at 94, peacefully in his sleep — just days before what would have been his longtime friend Jim Nabors’ birthday, a touching coincidence his family noted. With a career spanning over 70 years, from stand-up to iconic TV roles on “You Bet Your Life,” “That Girl,” and even “Phil of the Future,” Schell brought laughter and warmth to millions. He leaves behind his wife Janet, children Gregory and Christian, and granddaughter Chiara — a legacy of joy, talent, and kindness that will never be forgotten.
