Loved James Garner may he rest in peace.

Loved this beautiful man, gave us many hours of pleasure watching him, and I should have, but did not know, that he was 86 yrs old. Thank you for your talent these many years.

I read somewhere he was married to the same woman since 1959, quite an accomplishment by Hollywood standards! Also that he once said he became an actor not to become a star but to try and make enough money to keep a roof over his head! Amazing man!

I have a unique experience; he was already a TV and becoming a major movie star. My sophomore year in high school in OKC, I was mother's travel companion to the OU-USC football game when my father couldn't take off work at the last minute. It was a chartered plane full of Sooner fans; can't remember name of hotel where we stayed, but was next to the Brown Derby. Anyway, I remember James Garner, a native Norman, Oklahoman and honorary OU alumnus, attending all the OU functions, mingling with the fans and so forth. He was nice! And, OU won the football game that blistering hot Saturday afternoon, moving them into #1 ranking.

One of my favorite actors.

RIP - Jim

1. Maverick
2. The Rockford Files. Loved the episode where Isaac Hayes kept calling him "Rockfish".
3. Many movies especially Murphy's Romance, with Sally Field

He was one of the best. Maverick and Rockford Files are still good to watch today.

One of the strong, silent good guys. Many good memories!

Our newest great nephew, born in May, is named Maverick after the gambler and the Tomcat driver.
