It's been all over Twitter too. I'm very sad about this news. Loved him on The Waltons and then got reattached while watching him play Father Matt. http://tvline.com/2014/02/13/ralph-waite-dead-the-waltons/ |

What a sad thing. He really added a lovely layer to the Eric storyline. He'll be missed. |

R.I.P. I wonder if he'll be seen anymore, with Father Louis kind of taking up his place of late. Maybe his health was ill and he stepped away. Sad. |

Awww. :tears: I loved Father Matt. He was my favorite priest Days ever had. He was a bit of an Ericole shipper, too. |

How sad. Such a fine actor. I loved him as Father Matt, but I'll always remember him as John Walton Sr. |
