He is remembered as Quinton Mchale of Mchales Navy .
He won the Oscar for Marty.

IMHO his greatest performance was Dutch Engstrom in The Wild Bunch.

His breakout role was SGT "Fatso" Judson in From Here to Eternity.

He had some serious acting skills.

I really respected him.  He was certainly a stand up guy and always remained humble.  I remember seeing him on all the old western movies and as "Dom" on Airwolf in the 1980's. 

He will be missed.
