a few years ago, when sg1 was in its 7th season, i met amanda tapping and don at a comic con. poor don, i literally ignored him when i went to the autograph session, because i was meeting amanda *my idol* , but he was very, very sweet to me. i got to talk to him later on (without amanda distracting me ), and i even got to give him a hug.
i'll always remember general hammond -THE best commander of the sgc- and i'll always remember the lovely don i got to ignore *oy* and meet one time.
I was shocked to see on the front page about his passing. I've mostly known him for playing Gen. Hammond. He was a great actor and did him well. My prays will go out to his family and friends.
This is heartbreaking news. My condolences to his wife and family. He was a wonderful actor and his passing leaves a giant void in the Stargate universe.
R.I.P Don.
I found out a few hours ago, I still get teary eyed when I read everyones thoughts and reminisances. I...I'm still stunned. He was a gentle man who will be greatly missed.
May the road rise up
to meet you,
May the wind be always
at your back.
May the sun shine
warm upon your face.
And the rains fall
soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you ,
in the palm of His hand.

Man. I'm not an emotional in the least, and I nearly shed a tear over this (not to sound mean). I'm going to miss him.
RIP - Davis/Hammond of Texas
PS - I'm curious to see if they'll touch on this at all in another SG1 movie.
I hope they do...he was a major part of the franchise for such a long time...the father of SG1, both he and his character, Hammond, deserve a tribute of sorts from Stargate. Anything from a scene or a piece of dialogue...he deserves it.
A great, warm and wonderful man.
