Boo. I've liked Peter Graves since I was old enough to understand Mission: Impossible. I especially enjoyed him in the Airplane! movies, and was really irked when they turned Graves' Jim Phelps character into a secret bad guy in the Tom Cruise movie (and if I spoiled that for you, consider that I felt spoiled when I watched it.). So, this is sad news. Living to 84 is a good long life, but I'm sure the closer to 84 I get, the less I'll consider that to be consolation. RIP, Peter!
