Hate to hear that. He was a great driver too. You know when they filmed "Grand Prix", Bob Bondurant said that Garner could easily drive professionally. He was that good.

He will be missed. :salute

I really enjoyed watching his work. He had great style, and 'Support your local Sheriff' was a great comedy. My how time fly's.

Rockford Files was actually a decent show.  That smurfy brown camero he drove almost ruined the show, though.   :aok

I thought he was awesome in "Space Cowboys".   :rofl

May he RIP!
