We lost “Luke” from General Hospital this week, now it’s “Buck Rogers.”
Actor Gil Gerard passed away after a battle with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. His wife Janet was by his side and posted about his death.
Some may remember that sci-fi show “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” that aired on NBC from 1979 to 1981. (Some of you may have even had a Buck Rogers action figure when you were a kid!)
Gil Gerard was 82. Condolences to his family.
Read the letter he wanted his wife to share after his passing:
