The two married in 1975, and would go on to lead an incredibly happy Hollywood marriage with three children. However, their fairy-tale life would eventually end in somewhat of a tragedy.

However, despite their best efforts, Urich eventually succumbed, leaving behind his wife and three children.

a life well lived.....and its not a "tragic" Hollywood story....its actually an inspiring Hollywood story.....the story of two successful actors who loved each other and raised up a good family, not succumbing to the shallowness and coldness and arrogance of Hollywood.

My son was friends with Ryan Urich growing up as they went to the same school and Robert and I sat together on the bleachers at a few school basketball games to watch our boys play. I was always struck by what a decent, down to earth person he was, very friendly. His wife Heather was also a wonderful person that my wife got quite friendly with through school activities. Both wonderful people, and great kids as well.

I've always had a little crush on him and thought he was one of THE most handsome and nice actors in the business...next to Paul Newman and Robert Redford. I'd like to know more about his children as I've never heard anything about them. I met Robert's Aunt who lives not far from me now in Southeast MO where I recently moved and helped her find something in a Walmart store and she was so polite and nice and I told her my name and we chatted a bit and she asked me had I heard of Robert Urich...I said why yes he was one of my favorites and I'd always admired him and crushed on him as well.....she said I'm Vida Urich his Aunt! that made my day to know he came from humble Midwest background or at least his Aunt did for much of her life....his Aunt was a sweet lady, hoping she's still alive this was just 4 years ago I met her in the store. God Bless Robert and his Wife and their family.

The story is told very well, with one exception. The name of the cancer Robert had was Synovial Cell Sarcoma. I liked watching his detective show. He played a nice and humble character. I noticed the name of the cancer because it is the same type I survived, and it is rare. Especially in adults. I remember finding out that Robert had died of the same type of cancer I had been diagnosed as having. Knowing that made me realize I really did have something deadly, even though I didn't feel sick, and I hadn't heard of that type of cancer before. People really liked Robert Urich. It was sad to find out he died.

When Robert Urich moved to Boston to do Spencer for Hire he became best friends with a life long friend of our family who himself was the nicest kindest and self sacrificing volunteer husband and father I ever knew. When visiting, Vin told me the most marvelous stories about Urich. It seems he was exactly like Vin (and as a husband and father too) but Vin said he was the greatest human being he ever knew. A total gentleman who loved his TV crew personally and treated everyone in a dignified manner. At least his wife had enough time to say goodbye to her family and not linger long in pain.

I remember watching Spencer for hire Saturday nights on ABC, it was on at 10:00 pm. After O'Hara. if I'd worked Saturdays I would especially be looking forward to coming home and having something to eat and kicking back and watching Spencer for hire among the Saturday night line-up at the time. I was moving furniture back then, (1987) and that was a time when typically What defined a man was what he did for a living. Robert urich & Robert Conrad were considered men's, men. Robert Conrad had a TV show as well in 1987 , it may have been on the same night I can't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday. both of those legends have since passed on. Robert Conrad starred with his two real life sons each week in his show. It seems I remember Robert uric also had a show a few years later where he played a father trying to rebond with his estranged teenage son, and they spent each week nomadically traveling around the country on a motorcycle and encountering different situations with people and in one way or another impacting the lives of the people they encountered. I cannot remember the name of that show for the life of me, it lasted for not all that long, but it was a good show that should have been on longer. I remember when Robert urich was going through his battle with cancer he did a radio commercial where he talked about knowing what it was like to deal with cancer and how you can never have (quote- too many friends) when you're going through a personal battle with cancer.

He was always a handsome, sexy guy and a good actor. I used love the show" Vegas" Robert as Dan Tanna. I felt so bad when he got cancer years later. He went into remission for a while, but it finally ended his life.😔 I also felt bad for his wife Heather too. RIP Robert and Heather.😔💘💘🙏🙏

I have both the Swat dvds and as well the Vegas ones as well. A co star on Vegas with Robert has also joined he and Heather is Tony Curtis and only a short time ago I learned he too had passed. Heather once played on Vegas and i am sure. Was a memory for her after his passing. I cannot imagine after he passed how hard it must have been to watch their mother pass and of all times Christmas Eve. There could not be a worse time to face a family loss than Christmas and spend it in a funeral situation and at a funeral home. I myself faced it just after Christmas time. I hope they both RIP.

I have his autograph, but I stood with and talked while watching their airplane being loaded and right before his preboarding. He was flying to Augusta, GA to hunt. He was a very big man with gentle manners. I named my only child in 1993, after him. "Spenser for Hire", I spelled my child's name Spencer. I enjoyed Spenser for Hire...and I was able to personally tell him. That was huge for me. I usually do not star chase...perfect place, perfect time, perfect moments...it was between 1988 and 1990.

The old-fashioned chance meeting- real picture taken experience far outweighs the star-hawking phone selfie ways of today. And the celebrities of today aren't much better.

If you are a vegetarian & do not eat meat, I thoroughly understand your point of view re: animals. If you do eat meat, purchased in a store, this is a very different story. Robert Was of many generations that grow up differently in certain areas of the country. My Dad grew up in Colorado. When he was a boy he had to fish, to hunt deer and other animals, or else they would NOT have enough food!! He would go hungry for days sometimes if conditions were not good. They were not extremely poor, but it was how it was at that time. In certain areas of our country, even today, sometimes there are too many animals in an area, it can become overrun with a population, & the town leader's will ask hunters to come in to take care of the problem it creates for animals & people. Overcrowding of animals can lead to their death under conditions. It is about the eco system for the area. I have given you a perspective that you may not have been aware of. Doing research is smart & does not lead to being ignorant of any subject!!

Maybe because he wasn't a typical macho man, often nice men are not considered "sex symbols".. good for them. Besides, he didn't need it.

He had to go against John Travolta, Freddie Prinze, David Cassidy, Andy Gibb, etc. Guys he easily had more masculinity over. He was a big guy to begin with, and his roles made him even more " macho" than the rest of them.

My dad was the Stillman on "Vegas"and Robert would call my dad always on Sunday to drive together...then to fly out of Burbank airport to Las Vegas to shoot during the week... I went with him as his assistant and we all had a great time on the show... I've been a Stillman myself over 45 years... Just before Robert passed he called my dad to talk about things... My dad passed away a year later... They were just really great people... Robert...Heather...and my dad...

He was nice , i met him as a kid. My parents were friends with the treasury hotel in vegas where vegas was filmed , we got to visit and watch tapings of the show. He was always kind to me even though i was a kid and took time out to talk to me and tell jokes.

As someone who read the Robert Parker novels I can’t imagine anyone else in the role of Spenser. Not to mention Avery Brooks as Hawk And Barbara Stock as Susan Silverman The entire cast was so perfect it’s hard to picture anyone else in those roles I regret that I almost wrote for the series but got turned down at the last minute

I remember reading in TV Guild have she was holding him at the last moments of his life. She said that he was telling her how afraid he was to die. She held him close and was telling him to "climb into my heart, there is a lot of love in there". When she let go of him he was dead. it made tears come down my face when I read that all those years ago.

@@jimodell6213 what ?! a judgement ? a thought that was a no no according to the bibble? Do you know where you are going? and no the bibble does not say just because you know and accept him blah, blah, blah, you go to heaven! it does also depends on your heart and your actions. So it is both, in other words. If you truly believe, you act or try to act act as J would have acted. And the final judgement goes to the big invisible guy in the sky. Church going people I talk to I ask "who comes first your spouse or your kids?" - most get it wrong !, so they have less respect for their religion and their G than most athiests! So many church goers just pick out bits of the bibble here and there to cobble together to say whatever they want. SMH. pompousness, so Christ like, suuure .....(sarcasm). Ohhh, and lets not mention how modest and meek (both praised in the bible), publicly announcing a judgement on youtube is. May Jesus help you.

Love Robert Urich, a very talented and handsome actor on TV! I watched all his different roles he played on television, from “Spencer For Hire,” to “Vegas”, “Lonesome Dove,” etc. I ust love the man and the great actor he was. Robert is surely missed by all his fans who loved him and followed him to his sadly and tragic end battling cancer. May Robert Urich rest in eternal peace always! He is IRREPLACEABLE!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️✝️✝️✝️
