Emergency star Tim Donnelly had died at the age of 77. The NBC series actor was beloved as Chet Kelly on the program. The Los Angles County Fire Museum confirmed the news in a Facebook post paying tribute to Donnelly. He was born in 1944 and got a big break in Baby Face Nelson thirteen years later. From there he would enjoy 27 years of working in both TV and film. Fans might know him from Emergency in the 70s, but he appeared in a number of different programs. Dragnet fans might remember him as a recurring presence on the 1967 show. Donnelly would also be around Project U.F.O. quite a bit. In a way, his career is a tour of TV’s lineage as there were appearances on Hawaii Five-O, CHiPs, The Virginian, B.K. and the Bear, and The A-Team. The Fire Museum also clarified that the actor is survived by his brother Dennis, his sister Kathleen, his daughter Ashley and her two sons. Comments under the post on Facebook are an outpouring of love for a TV staple during the 70s.
We at the Fire Museum are heartbroken as we sure all of you will be as well regarding the following news.
