For those that remember the original show. I watched it as a kid.

Mark Goddard, the actor best known for playing Maj. Don West on the fanciful and popular 1960s science-fiction series “Lost in Space,” died on Tuesday at a hospice center in Hingham, Mass. He was 87.

so sad...loved lost in space as a kid.I read that he got his masters degree in education and became a special ed teacher...and taught for about 20 years. to me that is a real hero. (so many people think actors are heros)

To me examples of heros are first responders and teachers...(and many other such professions)

RIP

I remember watching Lost in Space as a kid. He was so handsome. May he RIP.

In addition to him passing this week, there was also actress Piper Laurie and now Suzanne Somers.

Lost in Space was one of my favorite shows growing up. I still enjoy watching the reruns.

I also remember his brief role as Derek Barrington on General Hospital back in the 80's.

From the articles I've read about him over the years he seemed like a down to earth, decent man.

He was also quite handsome back in the day.
