Sad news this week that beloved actor Reggie Bannister has entered hospice care.

Bannister associate Russell GreWolf Mauck recently stated:

“My beloved Phantasm Phamily and Phriends. Most of you know, beloved Reggie Bannister was diagnosed with Dementia and Parkinson’s in June 2016. They were able to stabilize it for these many years. Last Wednesday, Feb 12, Reg collapsed. His condition had progressed to the next stage. He’s still cognitive, so that’s good, but his body is failing. Reggie and Gigi had planned ahead and made an advanced directive. As a result, Reggie will be going home from the V.A. soon, for home hospice care. There is no prognosis or time frame. It is his wish to be home and around family, in their little mountain cabin. He’s not suffering, and he’s happy to be going home. We do not know the length of time that they will have together, but are happy to have the time left. Please know how much Reggie and Gigi love their Phans, Phriends, and colleagues.“

If like me you’re a huge fan of the “Phantasm” franchise then this news will be a real gut punch, Reggie was the heart and soul of the franchise and a real fan favourite. I had already posted this news on my socials but I wanted to do all I can to help spread the word and help put a smile on the face of our badass ice cream man!
