One of the greatest character actors I have seen and one of the sweetest men I have ever met has passed away. Don S. Davis, who played General George Hammond on Stargate SG-1, died yesterday after a massive heart attack.
I met Don twice at GateCon. The first time he gave me a kiss on the cheek and a hug when I had my picture taken with him. My friend and I ran into him in the parking lot of the hotel as we were leaving and he was paying the parking meter. He said hello to us and wished us well on our way home. The next year, I got another hug and the sense that he was generally happy to spend time with us crazy fans.
Rest in Peace Don. We will all miss you.
