R.I.P. Gerry Anderson

I found out recently that Gerry Anderson passed away.  Now as a nerd/media, gaming savant, that really sucked. I know we all must meet the end credits, but he had a flair that could not be surpassed.  You see I was a fan from the early 60's of his shows. The first one I saw was "Super Car".  A black and white show that kept a 5 year old intrigued.  About a car that could go and do anything.
Most of fans remember Xl-5 or Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds  Are Go!   I liked them all. Stingray, U.F.O., Space 1999. I know I am forgetting his first one's. Mr. Anderson was the reason for me get in my 'geek' on at such an early age.






Peace be with you Gerry, there will never be a one like you.
