Stephen Huszar and ‘Chesapeake Shores’ Cast Are ‘Celebrating’ Treat Williams’ Life After His Death

usmagazine.com:

Hallmark’s Stephen Huszar is mourning the loss of former Chesapeake Shores costar Treat Williams.  “It’s been a very emotional time,” Huszar, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting his new film A Royal Christmas Crush with girlfriend Katie Cassidy. “But in a way, it’s brought the [Chesapeake Shores cast] back together.

We’ve been celebrating his life. He’s just such a force and really the patriarch for our family and a patriarch for me, personally.”   Williams, who died unexpectedly in June at the age of 71 after being involved in a motorcycle accident, starred on Hallmark’s Chesapeake Shores alongside Huszar for six seasons prior to his passing.

Williams portrayed Mick O’Brien on the heartwarming series, while Huszar, for his part, played Luke Tatum — a love interest for Mick’s daughter Bree (Emilie Ullerup).   “I just feel like Treat was a man who just really loved life and lived life to the fullest,” Huszar continued, calling Wiliams a “legendary” and “incredible” actor. “And he was doing something he loved when he went out.

We all just keep him very close to our heart. It’s actually brought us back together.” Huszar had his own personal message for Williams as well, adding, “So if you’re hearing this brother, we miss you so much and you’ll be with us always.” Following his death, Hallmark also paid tribute to Williams, who also starred in several of the network’s projects over the years including 2020’s The Christmas House and its subsequent sequel.
