Thanks for the memories, Bob....

 

[nixon]

Yeah, all the major networks report it.

RIP, Bob. Thanks for everything, you made life easier for thousands of people.

 

[Turner]

You will be missed, Bob. Rest in peace.

100 years! He lived life to the max!

I thought he had expired ages ago.

Oh well, the reaper gets us all in the end...

There went the comedian that I respected the most. I really appreciated the way that he went to visit the soldiers so often, lifting their spirits for a spell. He was a class act through and through. Rest in peace, Bob.

So long Bob, you're the legend of legends.

God bless Bob Hope. A wonderful man, great entertainer, and a beloved Clevelander.

I heard he did lots of great things, I don't really know because he was already way over the hill when i came around. too bad he's gone but it's not like he died unexpectedly or young. anyways rip

Imagine living through three world wars and still keeping your sense of humor.

A great man.

 

[Zarn]

How about living through two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, two Iraqs, Somalia, Kosovo, the Cuban missile crises, etc and still having a good sense of humor?

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

And you can add all the terrible disasters that happened during his life: he was alive for the Great Earthquake in San Francisco, the atrocities of totalitarianism in Germany and Russia, losing China to dictatorship and communism, two atomic bombs dropped, civil wars all over Africa and the Mideast, the Great Depression, the commie witch-hunts, Reagan's term in office....

After going through all that and still being able to tell jokes, you can't help but admire the man.
