Erich-Anderson

“I’ll miss him but his ordeal is over,' the Instagram post announcing his death said.

Erich Anderson attends 2016 Chiller Theater Expo at Parsippany Hilton on April 24, 2016 in Parsippany, New Jersey. “My husband Erich died this morning,” she wrote alongside a photo of the late star. She then explained that since she was “too bereft” to write more herself, she quoted her brother-in-law Michael O’Malley, who wrote: “Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer.

His “Felicity” co-star Eve Gordon, who starred as his wife Barbara Hunter on the series, also paid tribute to Anderson and fondly remembered her on-screen husband in an “My beautiful friend, Erich Anderson, has said goodbye,” Gordon wrote, alongside a photo of the two on the show. “He was a magnificent part of the world. I loved him. I wish you’d known him, there was no one like him. So funny, so open to whatever the day brought him, so wickedly cynical and joyous at once.”

After their characters divorced in later seasons of the show, Gordon said she didn’t see him as much. “I saw him less on set, but was always happy when we found each other in LA, we’d hang out and talk for hours. He was so smart,” she added. “Ah, look at this Erich, I’m using the past tense. My friend, I hope I see you again in dreams and other dimensions. Fly high, my friend.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
