    I am deerply saddened by the news. David Soul wasn't just a star but a icon because of such a revolutionary series.He was a part of a lot of our childhoods while on television. Starsky and Hutch was really big while on the air and thankfully he and Paul Michael Glaser went on to star in many television movies and motion pictures after the show went off the air. I only hope that he knew that he was beloved, and still is so he can finally RIP. Thank you for the memories.

It does remind you of your own mortality. RIP Mr David Soul and thanks for the memories.
