LOS ANGELES — An actor best known from the 1960s sitcom “McHale’s Navy,” has died. Bob Hastings was 89.

Allison Knowles says her grandfather died June 30 in his Burbank, California, home after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer.

Hastings won fans on “McHale’s Navy” as Lt. Carpenter, a bumbling yes-man. Other memorable roles were on “All in the Family” and “General Hospital.”

The Brooklyn, New York-born Hastings began his career at age 11 on radio dramas. He branched out into TV in its infancy, snagging a role on “Captain Video and His Video Rangers” in 1949.
