I loved his "space epic" shows, "Battlestar Galactica, (the original,) and "Buck Rogers."

Losing good people is not cool. Not cool! 
I liked most of his shows that I ever saw.
... from a big fan of so many of his shows including "Switch" with Robert Wagner & Eddie Albert. He had perfected the formula for prime time series across the popular genres - westerns, police dramas, and sci-fi. I used to chuckle about how Knight Rider "borrowed" storylines from shows like Speed Racer. 
As a big fan of Battlestar Galactica (HIS version, not the later bastardized knockoff), that broke all records that one Sunday night it premiered on ABC with 100,000,000 viewers, I have to say that you will be sorely missed.
(I was fortunate to meet Herb Jefferson, Jr. at a convention about 10 years ago and got an autograph in my BSG premiere novelization).
Probably Hawaii.
