The “Firefly” cast are paying beautiful tribute to Ron Glass
Firefly was one of those beautiful television shows where you could see that the actors genuinely cared about one another. So when we learned that Firefly and Serenity star Ron Glass, known to us Browncoats as Shepherd Book, had died, we expected his former cast mates to react. But we didn’t expect to cry due to their reactions!
The cast of Firefly shared their love for Ron Glass in a series of tweets and Instagram posts.
We already knew the cast liked one another, but these responses to Ron Glass’ passing show a depth of love that is impossible to fake.
Rest in peace, Ron Glass.
First of all, Firefly creator Joss Whedon probably put it best:
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

Furthermore, you could see that grace, humor, and enormous heart in every episode of Firefly.
Meanwhile, Nathan Fillion, who played the lead in Firefly, shared an especially relevant quote from the series:
"Shepard, don't move."
"Won't go far."
We love you, Ron Glass. Don't go far. https://t.co/BAzpzTBLLv— Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) November 26, 2016
In addition, Jewel Staite also shared a silly photo of the two of them on Instagram — and her memories, too:
Can you feel the love? Because we sure can.
Another co-star, Alan Tudyk, also had words to say about Glass:
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

Furthermore, even Adam Baldwin, who would just as easily stab you in the back as hug you on Firefly, had kind words to share— along with one of Glass’s memorable scenes.

Finally, Sean Maher reacted with his usual poise:
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.

In conclusion, Ron Glass clearly made an impression on all who worked with him. As a result, he will be deeply missed. And not by just his cast mates, but by his fans, friends, and family, too.
