May he Rest in Peace 🙏

Sad news today — Gil Gerard’s wife Janet has shared this beautiful message that Gil asked her to post:

“This is Janet Gerard, Gil’s wife. Just to clarify — I was by his side when my husband passed away this morning in hospice care. Below is the message he left:

If you are reading this, then Janet has posted it as I asked her to.

My life has been an amazing journey. The opportunities I’ve had, the people I’ve met and the love I have given and received have made my 82 years on the planet deeply satisfying.
My journey has taken me from Arkansas to New York to Los Angeles, and finally, to my home in North Georgia with my amazing wife, Janet, of 18 years. It’s been a great ride, but inevitably one that comes to a close as mine has.

Don’t waste your time on anything that doesn’t thrill you or bring you love. See you out somewhere in the cosmos.”

Gil Gerard passed away at the age of 82 after a short and aggressive battle with cancer, with Janet by his side. Best known to millions as Captain William “Buck” Rogers, Gil became a science-fiction icon through Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, first appearing in the 1979 film before the TV series ran on NBC for two seasons.

With his easy charm and confident screen presence, Gil helped bring Buck Rogers to a new generation, alongside co-stars Erin Gray, Felix Silla and Wilfrid Hyde-White. The series became a cult favourite and remains fondly remembered by fans decades later.

Beyond the role, Gil was a regular on the convention circuit, always generous with his time and appreciation for the fans who loved his work. His final words reflect a life well lived — full of adventure, love and gratitude.

Rest well, Buck. 🌌

So interesting......

When Rosie Grant launched a TikTok channel, GhostlyArchive, as a testament to gravestones, she discovered a niche form of memorial: cemetery markers that bear beloved recipes of the dearly departed. Her new cookbook collects headstone recipes that are "To Die For."

The country lost a giant. These men served a country that looked down upon them as second-class citizens or even worse. They performed admirably during battle using the Code Talker system that helped battlefield commanders make quick decisions to win battles and save their fellow soldiers/marines lives. They won the war. Came home and couldn't tell anyone what they did because it was still classified until 1968. They were treated like s**t after the war and many struggled but they never turned their back on their country. They were proud of what they did. Rightfully so. They were extraordinary heroes but looked at themselves more as husbands, fathers, brothers, and mentors to the next generation. May we never forget their sacrifices and may we never forget their names. We must pass to each generation, their names and stories. May God rest their souls.

If you’ve read obituaries about your ancestors, you know they can provide a wealth of information. They may include biographical details, names of relatives, religious affiliation, and more. If you find an obituary for a specific person, the information within can fill in gaps, lead to other records, and help break down brick walls.

The earliest known obituaries were published Roman times. For centuries, obituaries were mainly for prominent people. But things began to change with the invention the printing press and the linotype machine as newspapers became widespread.

During the United States Civil War, obituaries were a vital means of tracking both the living and dead. Over time, obituaries became more common and more detailed, evolving to the life sketches and tributes we often see today.

An obituary can contain key information that can connect you to your ancestors. It can, perhaps, even fill in gaps you didn't even know were there.
