Firefly Cast Pay Tribute to Ron Glass

A leaf on the wind.

2016 brings us more heartbreak with the passing of beloved actor Ron Glass, best known for Barney Miller and Firefly.

We had the chance to meet Ron Glass at IndyPopCon back in 2014. He was a soft spoken, kind man, with so many wonderful stories to share.

He got there with grace, humor & enormous heart. He was, among so many other things, my Shepherd. Raise, appropriately, a glass. Rest, Ron. pic.twitter.com/yzPly7TmgE

This is me acting like an idiot just so I could hear Ron Glass laugh. He was the kind of person that remembered the details, that asked about your family’s well-being. He hugged hard and often. He would laugh till he cried at a sick joke and top it with a worse one. He loved a Grey Goose crantini and spilled one on my white jeans in the heat of telling a story, and then just said, “Girl, those were ugly pants anyway.” I adored him. Everybody did. I love you, Ron. Can’t wait to see you again. “I don’t care what you believe. Just believe it.”

“Shepard, don’t move.” “Won’t go far.” We love you, Ron Glass. Don’t go far.

Ron Glass was one of the greatest actors to work with. His laugh was beyond infectious and his generosity was ever present. #ripronglass

Ron Glass was also a sassy smart ass and I prize that very much. A leaf on the wind. #ripronglass

Ron Glass. What an honor it was to know you, to work beside you and to have called you my friend. You will be missed. I love you sir.
