This'n has tweets from the cast...
I think Adam is referring to him being a Buddhist...
From Joss
He got there with grace, humor & enormous heart. He was, among so many other things, my Shepherd. Raise, appropriately, a glass. Rest, Ron
From Alan
Ron Glass was also a sassy smart ass and I prize that very much. A leaf on the wind. #ripronglass
Ron Glass was one of the greatest actors to work with. His laugh was beyond infectious and his generosity was ever present
From Adam
Happy rebirth, dear Ron Glass.
Among the kindest and gentlest souls to have walked this earth with us.
From Patton Oswalt
I hope Ron Glass is somewhere, enjoying a horrible cup of coffee with Jack Soo
From Sean
Ron Glass. What an honor it was to know you, to work beside you and to have called you my friend. You will be missed. I love you sir
From Cap'n
Shepard, don't move."
"Won't go far."
We love you, Ron Glass. Don't go far

I am quoting this post because I too feel he played his role as Shepherd wonderfully. I saw the news of his passing and admit, I am thoroughly shocked and saddened.

This is one of the times I appreciate the forums the most. It's nice to see the words of other people who are feeling the loss.
Rest in peace, Ron. Thanks for everything.

A great actor. A terrible loss. Can't imagine anyone else playing Book quite so perfectly. R.I.P. Mr. Glass.

I just found out. Gorram it.
I promise a toast to him at Redemption '17 (a bit late as it's in February, but that toast will be drunk, on my blood honour [spot the Lost Girl fan]!)
As I firmly believe we should celebrate life as well as mourning death, the following just has to be quoted from Jaynestown, it just has to be done:
River: They say the snow on the roof is too heavy. They say the ceiling will cave in. His brains are in terrible danger.
Book: River? Please, why don't you come on out?
River: No! Can't! Too much hair!
Book: Is — is that it?
Zoe: Hell, yes, preacher. If I didn't have stuff to get done, I'd be in there with her. (He gives her a look)
Book: It's the rules of my Order. It symbolises -
Zoe: Uh-huh. River, honey, he's putting the hair away now.(Book starts to tie his hair back)
River: Doesn't matter. It'll still be there. Waiting.

Although I had assumed, if we were lucky enough to be spared the tragically premature passings of one of our other BDHs, that he would be the most likely to retire first, I still hoped it would be a long time in the future. Alas, this is our first to go, and I will miss the reassurance that I might find him in yet further works, and even maybe see Sheppard Book again.
R.I.P. Ron. Know that your beloved characters, roles, and works will be in our hearts and minds for many years to come, and based upon the timeless quality of Firefly, very likely generations of fans.
I was planning to rewatch Firefly this weekend of Thanksgiving. I'm happy it is in my player now, ready for me to get back home.
