  A man who is married to the same women and lives in the same house for over fifty years, is someone who didn’t let fame get to his head. A class act

  Mr. Garner was the kindest man I had ever met. As a guy just out of the service and from East LA I was fortunate to get a job at Universal Studios as a runner and driver and got to drive him a few times. And what amazed me was that he always remembered my name... really made me feel special. It makes sense that his kindness was a result of his growing up. I actually cried on his passing... Although I did not really know him on a personal level, I always felt that he was a person I could call on for help. A friend... He was kind, tough, and fair... God bless him.. he was a real star & is missed. Gigi, thank you & your family for loaning him to us.

  James Gardner was a gentleman in a town full of scoundrels.

  Many years ago, I worked as a Production Assistant on a television pilot which starred James Garner. &nbsp;Part of my responsibility was to deliver scripts to the actors late at night after the writers made changes. &nbsp;The night I was to deliver the changes I could not, for the life of me, locate Mr. Garners house....(It was located on a poorly marked road in the hills and it was very late at night). I drove and drove, yet &nbsp;never found it and did not deliver the script. &nbsp;The next morning several production people told me I was in big trouble. &nbsp;They implied that my job might be on the line.<br>Well, I met Mr, Garner in the elevator a few minutes later and told him that I was very sorry that I could not find his home the night before... He smiled kindly, and said &apos; Do not worry about it John....I would not have read that thing anyway&quot;..<br>He completely let me off the hook. &nbsp;For a young production assistant this was so unusual in a world where so many often mistreated him...I have never forgotten James Garner. <br>First and foremost....He was a decent man.

  I&apos;m so glad he had no scandals. I don&apos;t know why. I&apos;m also really glad he was married 58 yrs to one woman. It&apos;s nice to know it happened.

  I watched this and at the end when Jerry Skinner talked about his death, I got really sad, almost in tears. James Garner was always my favorite, he was a man&apos;s man.

  It&apos;s hard to find high profile people with such high ethical standards as James Garner. Great actor, great human being.

  That likeability he had, didn&apos;t come from acting, it came from being a good guy.

  My mum and dad were here from England on a vacation.<br>I took them to Malibu for lunch. As we were walking towards the beach we passed by this man sitting in a lounger. It was James Garner and there was no-one else around. Well my mum and dad were over the moon seeing him.<br>Before we got into the restaurant I thought I&apos;d go and ask him if my mum and dad could have their photo taken with him. He was so lovely and said &quot;of course&quot;<br>He was filming the Rockford Files movie.<br>The next day a friend of mine was going to Malibu so she took the photo and James signed it and remembered my mum and dad.<br>Such a wonderful down to earth man.<br>So kind and not at all egotistical. I will never forget James Garner. Simply the best.

  What a wonderful actor James Garner is. When you watched him he always came across with a kind heart.
