Jeremy Slate

I used to pal around with Jeremy in 1960 & 61 when I worked at the Del Coronado Hotel in the early 60's. He had just started the Aquanauts for CBS to combat the success Lloyd Bridges was having with Sea Hunt on a competing network. He had a particular fondness for the " Mexican Village Restaurant " in those days. Sea Hunt won.

I met Jeremy on a train from Chicago to California in the club carin 1961 I was just 13. I was star struck! He was very polite to a handful of annoying kids. Great guy!!

Presently watching your performance on a Perry Mason episode. Enjoyed all of your acting roles of which you were wonderful. You'll be remembered.

You'll always be remembered

I was blessed to grow up in Encino & become best friends with Jef & hung out with the family.
When Jeremy moved into a Laurel Canyon bachelor pad while filming "True Grit," we spent many weekends up there with Good friends.
I vividly remember Jef calling and asking me to play bass on the demo of "How Come Everytime I Itch I Wind Up Scratching You, which was picked up by Glen Campbell.
All my memories of Jef, Jeremy, Bev & the Slate family are warm & special.
May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
I would love to reconnect with Jef.

I met Jeremy, I'm 1996 in Memphis, TN at a western convention. It was my birthday, Jeremy, Peter Brown took a picture together I was in the middle, Jeremy, called it a Maria sandwich, I will never forget it.

Dear Jeremy: I first knew you from your performance in "The Devil's Brigade" and had quite a crush on you. RIP Sir you are missed.

Watching you now on Perry Mason I watch a lot of old shows and your one of my favorites. Your fans miss you.

Just saw him on an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and thought his performance was spot on. He was so attractive I looked him up to find out more about him. RIP.

Dear Jeremy, I would have loved to have met you in person prior to your leaving us, your fans! You were an amazing actor and a man, for the eyes are the mirrors of the soul, and your soul had to have been beautiful. I, and we, will and still do miss you, and we re-live your mega talents in your filmography. You are in my prayers and I pray that you are in Paradise! In the Eternal Life I plan on looking you up, my friend!!!

Mimi

When I was a kid I loved him in Aquanauts.As a Canadian I loved him playing a mild mannered but deadly Canadian in the Devil's Brigade.I pray you are in heaven.Hope to meet you there.Gordon

For Jeremy...You co-write and
starred in the film Hells Angles.
It was truly a memorable performance.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

AND I DROVE OUT TO SEE YOU 5 YEARS IN A ROW, GOD BLESS YOU JEREMY , MY CLOSE FRIEND FRIEND , YOU ARE MISSED BUT WE HAD 10 YEARS I WILL NEVER FORGET.

Jeremy was more than an actor or my cousin....he was one of my closest friends and a genuine person. Miss the numerous visits that we shared.

im sorry to hear about jeremy slate it hit me like a tone of bricks

I knew Jeremy as a part of his "Run for Peace" organization in 1970. He traveled to campuses using reverse role playing between students, police and campus officicals. His politics were about Peace and Communication. He did something about the problems, with love and compassion. He really cared. God Bless, Jeremy. You left the world a better place because of your talents.

putting away papers i saved and i look at newspaper obituary tonight for jeremy slate, i saved it cause he was such a cool guy in the movies , great persona. when i grew up in boise i watched him in many movies, thanks for the great memories. did not know you, but you affected my life, thanks. great actore

Jeremy, what a great guy. I am so blessed to have known him for many years and he was so kind and thoughtful. He always managed to take time to call and say hi and drop a nice letter. I do enjoy watching him live on in film and television. God Bless you Jeremy, have fun up there!!! love always, Tammy... Toronto Canada

There was this little girl living in Buenos Aires, and she had two heroes, Larry and Mike, The Aquanauts. As a grownup woman, I still remember them fondly. Thank you Larry for all those dreams you inspired and all the wonderful moments glued to the TV dreaming away that I too would be an Aquanaut.

Was great to grow up with Jeremy and family in Encino. His spirit for life will alway's be remembered. My sympothy to the family.

My deepest sympathy to the Slate family.The Aquanauts/Malibu Run with Jeremy Slate,Ron Ely,Keith Larsen,and Charler Thompson is my favorite tv series of all time.R.I.P.

Loved him with Ron Ely in Malibu Run, and Keith Larsen in The Aquanauts..my favorite show as a young boy...filmed in B&W....and the old man with the moustache who looked after the shop while they were having an adventure....are these shows still available I wonder?

Man, so lucky to Know you. Scott

I'm also saddened to hear of Jeremy's passing. I wonder how many people remember his short-lived 1960's TV series with Ron Ely on CBS called "The Aquanauts". It was a great California-based ocean adventure series and helped quench the thirst of us Midwesterners for scenes of west coast living. Thank you Jeremy....

To Jeremy Slate , You were the BADDEST! The toughest of the tough guys onscreen , but , by all accounts , a gentle soul. Sorry we never met , but I'll always remember you through your work. A friend to Elvis , and a friend to us all . My belated condolences to all his family and friends. John.

I am so sorry to hear about Jeremy'
s passing. :(

I loved the movie he did with Elvis.. Girls! Girls !Girls!
