I echo Bill's sentiment totally and judging by all your comments, like me you feel something very special has passed from our lives.
It might seem like the end of a road for now but as many of you have said along with Bill, Gerry's legacy will live for a long time to come within us all.
So do your words. The fact is, he changed the world a bit, and that doesn't go away even when the person isn't with us any more. The world stays changed, and he's always going to be part of how we see it.
It's strange how lost I actually feel. Rudderless. I suppose I took it for granted that Gerry Anderson would live forever. Maybe through the likes of Fanderson and all the other websites, including our own, we can keep his memory alive. We still have all his fantastic TV shows, 2 films and the countless toys, books, comics and records bearing his C21 brand.
Its also important to consider the alternative, having seen him on tv shortly after he was diagnosed with Alzheimers, you could see he had already faded visibly. I think its a blessing in disguise.

That photo really gets to me.
