He was as classy of man as I've ever seen. RIP

Its an odd thing when staples and entertainers of childhood pass away. My old man made sure we never missed an episode of Rockford Files. That funky twangy electric intro music, still shots. That was cool stuff. Garner was the everyman type actor. Provided some good memories ya have to be grateful for. RIP

Yep, as a kid, I used to stay up late to watch The Rockford Files.

Rest in Peace, James Garner.

One of the last of Hollywood's Golden Era....it's a shame, he was very talented and had class about him

I used to view class as entirely a façade and a manufactured illusion. However, recently I've come to appreciate it and just how much restraint it must take to be a huge celebrity or great athlete and handle one's self with class.

Class is to be respected and applauded.
