MadOne Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Seconded roxy, heard about this last night and could hardly get any sleep :-( absolutely heart wrenching news. He was a true gentleman the 1 time that i was lucky to meet him. He'll be sorely missed. My thoughts are with his family Yep - my memory of him as well - A real gent. I asked a question - I forget what - which he misinterpreted - but he told us so much about him, his early days in the army and his continuing respect for the armed forces that I was really glad my question hadn't been answered - his response was far more interesting and personal. Without dissing any of the other actors / characters in the big chair of either of the Stargate series, unlike any of the others, General Hammond was the heart of the onscreen team. He didn't disappoint in real life either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Gear Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 My only encounters with Don S Davis were at LFCC, 2 years ago. During the signing he was so polite and kind and spoke to me for a couple of minutes. It really makes a difference when a guest is genuinely happy to talk to you about his private life, or ask you about your life. The talk he gave was great too. He was so laid back and easy going about life, and seemed completely at peace with the world. It is a great shock that he has passed on and I still can't believe it's happened, but I take consolation in the fact that he was HAPPY & content in life.

lams9999 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) One of the most friendly and interesting guest I've met so far and of course one of the most well known faces on television. I will always remember his long and passionate answer to my question about his work with David Lynch on Twin Peaks. He will be truly missed My sincere condolances to his family.

sadfan99 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have only just heard about this and my thoughts are with his family and close friends. I'm in shock and a bit upset at the moment - I never got the opportunity to meet him unfortunately, but I believe he was a lovely guy who was happy to talk and had a fascinating life and career. I always loved him as 'General Hammond' and I'll miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isandhlwana Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Can't really say any more than has already been said. Was really looking forward to meeting Don for the first time at Chevron 7, but it was not to be. Very, very sad and sorry that this has happened. 65 is no age these days. Feel really down now - I know that's being selfish but I can't help how it affects me. Think I'll go and watch a few choice episodes of SG-1. My own way of saying goodbye. However, these very episodes are the legacy that Don has left us to remember him by. He will be there forever. My thoughts, of course, are with his wife and family who will be terribly distraught at this time. Rest in Peace Don, you will be sadly missed by more people than you would have thought.
