Watching your reruns every night. Hope to meet you in Heaven. FAN

The handsomest cowboy ever. Loved in every role he played.

Any fan of great tv western shows along with myself will send our thoughts and prayers in celebrating a long and memorable life! Happy trails James.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. The Virginian.

The Virginian is a very uplifting series that brings joy to the viewers. What more could anyone want of a series. A sincere thanks is in order.

He was the most talented , Handsome cowboy, I loved his manners and just liked him as a person.

I admire Mr James Drury above all western actors! No disrespect to the Duke or anyone else, I like all of them, everyone has their favorite and I recently got my wife to become a fan of westerns and James Drury is at her #1 spot too! Ty Mr Drury for everything!

Another one of our TV icons of the western programs of the 50's,60:s and 70's has saddled up and ridden of into the sunset. Happy trails Mr. Drury.

As a young teen I watched the Virginian daily, as an adult I still watch him. His smile, kindness and cowboy disposition will always be loved by myself. RIP James Drury!
