On Tuesday, Dec. 16, Gerard's wife, Janet, announced via Facebook his death at 82 after a battle with cancer.
In the wake of the actor's death, Little House on the Prairie fans took to Reddit to react to the news. "The handsome handyman right?" one fan wrote.
"Uncle Chris??" someone else asked in disbelief.
Meanwhile, a different Redditor lamented, "Aw :( Rest Easy Gil," alongside a screenshot of the actor as Chris the handyman.
In "The Handyman," Chris helped Caroline "Ma" Ingalls (Karen Grassle) finish a kitchen addition while Charles "Pa" Ingalls (Michael Landon) was away. Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson) and other townsfolk, including Harriet Oleson (Katherine MacGregor) and Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim), started speculating that an affair was brewing. Ultimately, Charles returned to finish the project, and the rumors were revealed to be false.
"He had the charisma many women find irresistible," Grassle recalled. "When he showed up on set, even the little girls got up and took notice. He was sweet and hardworking and endeared himself to all of us women, young and old."
