RIP Lt. Gerard and Prof. Victor Bergman
 

With Barry Morse's death, the final precious chapter of my childhood TV viewing experience comes to a close. What a brilliant, underrated actor, and not just in "The Fugitive" and "Space:1999".

From barrymorse.com and Anthony Wynn:

It's very sad for me to write this message today - I feel like a piece of
my soul has been ripped from me. Certainly one of the kindest and most
generous of men has left us. It seems quite appropriate that the title of
Barry's final book during his lifetime is the aptly titled "Remember with
Advantages".

Barry Morse passed away on Saturday, February 2nd at 8:00 am. He was in
Hospital in London. Currently, we do not have any additional details
related to the cause of his death. We do know, however, that one of his
last duties was to attend and chair the last London Shaw Society meeting,
held on the final Friday of January.

I will post more information as it becomes available. Barry's wish was
for no funeral service and for his remains to be cremated. He wanted his
ashes to be scattered in the park garden at St. James' Place, which is
just around the corner from the Pall Mall flat. At some point, there will
probably be a 'celebration of life' gathering - either in London or
Canada, or in both places.

BARRY MORSE
