also well-known to sci-fi fans as General Hammond on Stargate.

Odd that like his character on the X-Files, he also passed away from a heart
attack at a relatively young age. He was only sixty-five. And like Captain
Scully, his ashes will be scattered at sea.

"Hello, Starbuck. It's Ahab. People would say to me, life is short -
kids, they grow up fast, before you know it, it's over. I never
listened. To me life went at a proper pace, there were rewards until
the moment that I knew, I understood, I would never see you again. My
little girl. Then my life felt as if it had been the length of one
breath, one heartbeat. I never knew how much I loved my daughter until
could never tell her. At that moment I would have traded every medal,
every commendation, every promotion for one more second with you. We'll
be together again, Starbuck. But not now. Soon."
