Lois Garner just told me, "I'll never be the same. My Jim is gone." Her tears speak for all of us.

One of my favorite actors. I read that he was also a big lib, but he kept his beliefs fairly low-key, unlike today’s Hollywood libtards.
R.I.P..... Jimmy Joe Meeker..
Always liked him. Good actor.
RIP, Jimmy...
Thanks man. RIP. Still enjoy Rockford Files from time to time.
So sad the time we have come to, as we lose more of the real stars and gentlemen and women of the acting trade to be left with the modern technicians of the trade. Rest in piece Mr. Garner, you will be missed!
Early Garner, awesome movie: “Support Your Local Sheriff”
This is one of many many fabulous scenes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW3vklH3oYM
Loved him in The Great Escape.
Cue opening music from “Rockford Files.”
He brought much entertainment and enjoyment to many folks. One of the more respectable Hollywood’ers.
Never missed Maverick when I was a youngster and just watched Space Cowboys (again) a few nights ago. RIP Mr. Garner — Thank You
The Rockford Files was one of the best shows ever. I can’t remember all the times, two men dressed in suits showed up at his trailer, usually to beat him up. sometimes just to take him to some big shot.
That trailer sure was large on the inside, nice too considering how small it was on the outside.
I still watch Rockford Files on ME TV Network. I will miss you Jim-bo... You were one of the motivating factors in my move to sunny California...
Loved his work in Murphy’s Romance... Loved everything that man did...
Rip, 5th Infantry Regiment vet.
my two favorite James Garner roles:
Pete Aron from Grand Prix
Hendley from the Great Escape...
James Garner was good in everything he did in my view, may he RIP.
He was awarded two Purple Hearts for wounds in the Korean war.
Great show.
Who can forget that gold Firebird, his weasel of a friend, Angel Martin, or his keeping his revolver in the cookie jar.
