Not sure what to say?

His acting was phenomenal, and his morals, values and integrity, impeccable. Always beloved, and so greatly appreciated and missed.

Loved him in all his comical movies. Loved him with Doris Day in Move Over Darling; loved him with Julie Andrew´s-such a handsome man and only five years younger than my dad.

He has been a hero for me since I was very young. Rockford Files was the greatest crime show ever.

He was and has been a great actor. I grew up on Rockford files. That´s where I learned to drive. lol. Rest easy brother.

He was my hero in Maverick! I watched every movie I could clear through The Notebook.

Jul y 13,2024 I still miss James Garner. I lost my husband in 2021 and found my renewed interest in James Garner. Reading his books, watching his films, watching Rockford, following FB fan groups, etc. helped me to cope with my loss. I admire JG so much. He overcame so many obstacles to become the successful man that he did!! I wish I had had the opportunity to shake his hand and tell him how he touched the lives of so many people. Long live his memory!! Diane Durham

Hope your in a special place james garner! You brought a lot of special moments to this world. Rip! Jim Rockford

Jim was a lovely man I met on a flight going to Utah to film the Diablo movie 1966. We chatted for over 2 hours and he invited me to join the crew/cast for meals, riding, etc. as my schedule in Utah allowed. Thankvyou Jim for all the lovely memories.

Mr. Garner You have become one of two heros in my life. My son was the first. When i lost him a few years back your legacy of acting became a huge comfort to me. Esp. Jim Rockford. I feel sad that i can never meet ypu in person just to say thank ypu and shake ypur hand. I admire you endlessly. Thank you for the legacy ypu left behind. It is beautiful as you are!
