Subject: The passings of Steve Ihnat and Dan Blocker

Steve died on May 12th in Cannes, France and Dan died the following day, May 13th. Both were tragic losses and Steve, Mike and Dan became good friends in Bonanza's later years. The Emmy awards that month had Ed Asner give Steve a memorial at the awards, as Sally Ihnat told me when we spoke. The crowd applauded and gave Steve a standing ovation that night. No one mentioned Dan at the Emmys, she told me. They both left us great memories and their own legacys.

So many fine talented actor's have passed on many year's ago , but we can see these wonderfull people on tv almost every day.

It's as if your looking at them in a present tense.
Not as if they are gone from history and tv's most gifted actor's.

It's "WE The Fan's" Who keep these people on the Air with hundred's of old tv episode's that no one will let fade away and die.

They may be gone , but they will never be forgotten.

Wow, noone mentioned Dan at the Emmy's!! He took a character and made him his own. We've had Elvis, Cher, Medonna, Celine and now Lady Gaga. But fifty plus years later HOSS brings a smile to our face and a fondness of memory. How many of the other Emmy people do we remember or even recall? adamseve

I am so happy I still have a few photographs of Dan and Pernell and me during our race days in California. I will never forget what it was like when Dan gave me a hug. I all but disappeared as he was such a big guy and I was such a little girl. He was such a nice man and spent lots of time with us kids.
