Lou Ferrigno Remembers Bill Bixby

[tv star collector]

From Lou's book, My Incredible Life as the Hulk (2003):

"Sometimes I will go back and watch episodes of The Incredible Hulk. It
is a trip down memory lane. The experience is always bittersweet, though,
because it is a reminder that Bill is gone. It brings me sadness because I spent
five years with him and then (in the many years that followed) occasionally
getting together. He was like a brother to me. I saw him go through divorces,
losing a child, and struggling with a terminal illness. He saw me go through my
life struggles as well. In that time we grew together. I miss him."

He also writes about Jimmy Pitts, a tour bus driver at Universal, who also
worked as Bill's personal driver. Jimmy said, "Mr. Bixby was nicer to us than
any other star. Most would hide or try to chase us away, but he would go out
of his way to meet the tourists." He drove Bill around neighborhoods late at
night just so Bill could personally deliver autographed photos of himself to
children who requested them.
