Mr Garner was found to have passed away in his home last night. He was famous for his many TV and movie roles, but around here he would probably be best known for a Grand Prix, the Great Escape, Maverick and the Rockford Files.

His passing is greatly saddening to me. :'(
I watched Maverick growing up, and support your local sheriff is still one of my favorite movies.

RIP, Rockford.

Love her or hate her, senator Elizabeth Warren wrote a nice little post about having met him in her youth:
When I was a little girl, James Garner came to visit my school. Mr. Garner was a famous movie star, and my third-grade teacher was his relative — and when he came by the school we were all lined up outside to meet him. I remember that he touched my shoulder, and I was sure he had smiled at me. He was the first person I'd met from the big world outside, and he was living proof that if you worked hard and played by the rules, some pretty amazing things could happen. I'm sorry he's gone.
