HuffPost
The actor died at age 82, but he made sure his practical advice to fans lived on.
Gil Gerard, star of the campy space series “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” (1979-81), had some down-to-earth advice for his fans in a farewell released after his death on Tuesday.
Earlier, Gerard’s wife Janet announced that Gerard “lost his fight” with aggressive cancer at age 82. She then passed along his final words on Facebook.
“If you are reading this, then Janet has posted it as I asked her to,” he wrote.
“My life has been an amazing journey. The opportunities I’ve had, the people I’ve met and the love I have given and received have made my 82 years on the planet deeply satisfying.”
“My journey has taken me from Arkansas to New York to Los Angeles, and finally, to my home in North Georgia with my amazing wife, Janet, of 18 years. It’s been a great ride, but inevitably one that comes to a close as mine has,” he continued. Gerard concluded by working in a pro tip to thrive in the 21st century.
