As Adam in Bonanza he was a great big brother to Hoss and Little Joe, and Pa's right hand man. As Trapper John, he was the elder statesman whom everyone else turned to, in a crisis. As Pernell, he stood up for human rights and never waivered, even when his principles may have hampered his career RIP Pernell

AS a child and adult ADAM CARTWRIGHT was a hero and role model for me and still is. I was eleven years old when you left BONANZA and I was devastated. I always hoped you would one day return to the show. R.I.P. Pernell Roberts and thank you for being one of those who brightened my life !

Pernell has been in my heart since September of 1959 when he rode on the big screen in bonanza, i was 13 then and He became the love of my life and has remained there ever since , and then trapper John, oh what a man, and what a man he was, and in my heart still is ,I have my wonderful memories of being able to meet this man not once but on 3 different occasions while I was at singing engagments in LA and S.F. I was at them for different charities with my choir group and he was in the audiance all three times ,that wink and wonderful smile was given to me as well as a personal autographed album of his and a picture taken of us, which I have cherished forever, He is a great man and some just do not know just how wonderful and gracious this man really is,Once He has met you, He never forgets you, and Pernell will never be out of my memories either ,you are missed pernell, now go sing with the angels,and let your voice still be heard, I love you

I loved Pernell Roberts from the age of 4, I feel like a part of my childhood and life is missing now that he is gone. He was a gentleman with integrity and courage.

Pernell Roberts will rest in peace as the man, not the actor, who challenged not only his paycheck makers, but all of us to settle for nothing less than what is right for all of us. He was an influential role model for me as a young man and remained totally dignified to that end.. .until the end. In Bonanza, Hawaii Five-O, Alias Smith
