Paul Michael Glaser paid a touching tribute to his Starsky & Hutch costar David Soul, following his death on Thursday.
‘I find it difficult to comprehend David’s passing. Seems only yesterday that we were sharing loving insults on the phone,’ the actor, 80, shared in a statement provided to DailyMail.com.
‘It just takes time, I tell myself; saying good-bye to such a dear friend and important part of my life I suspect that I will let myself feel his loss, our loss, only gradually.’
‘David was a brother, a friend, a caring man. We shall never see his like again,’ he continued.
‘I want to extend my condolences to dear Helen, whom he loved and cherished and who stood beside him through these difficult years. He could never tell me enough what she meant to him.’
