can you say dead?

sure you can...dead

that really is so sad..I'll actually shed a small tear over that one. Atleast his battle was brief. No one over here has a clue who he is...so when I looked all shocked and went 'Mr Roger's died' they all had a blank look. Heathens.

he taught many of us to use our imaginations.

Mr Rodgers was Boneprone Approved.
Kinda sad.

But his shows will run forever.
Something I hope my children watch when they grow up as I did.

He was a strange fellow.
But a good guy none the less. Im sure he had my sites bookmarked.

The people at the SuperBowl must have known he was dying.
I thought it was strange to see him as the honorary host of the super bowl last month doing the coin toss.

FUCK, MR ROGERS WAS CHILL.

Watched that every day. I agree w/ bone, he was a strange man, any man with such a facination for children kinda freaks me out.

But just the same, when i was young and innocent, he was the BEST

That sucks :(

btw, Jim Henson died on the same day as Sammy Davis jr. I remember because by some strange conincidence my piano lesson that week was 'rainbow connection'

well he was a pastor and the show was his congregation. So, he was talking to kids the way a preacher would.

R.I.P.

That show drove me to the isane asylum.

sad :(

As someone else said hopefully his death was sudden and painless.

Poor guy died from stomach cancer. I named my fish after him :( he'll surely be missed but not forgotten

RIP :( I remember him as a kid.....Its a beautiful day in the neighbourhood

Agreed.

Mr. Rogers knew how to put a smile on anyones face.

When i was about 5-6 I remember looking at the Matchbox car village and drooling over it. Wanted to play trucks bad each time the show was over.

Our Icons are dropping like flies. :(

Mr. Rogers taught me my ABC's lol
Remember he always used to change his shoes before every show.

WAT IS THIS REAL!

omg this just killed my day,
i loved mr.rogers, i grew up with him,

i used to love his show real kids tv.

I bet most people never knew this but Mr.Rogers had the most confirmed kills in the Vietnam war.

I want to see a 'Picture Picture' of a Porn Shoot.

I guess he won't be anybodies neighbor now!

Smack! You're from Pittsburgh??? No way! I'm from Pittsburgh too. I live in LA now, but I'll tell ya, if you lived in the Burgh anytime during the 90's then we either know each other, or know someone who knows someone who knows both of us. For those of you not familliar with Pittsburgh, it's not 6 degrees of separation, it's 2. And it's only 1 if you're gay.

Sorry to hear about Mr. Rodgers. I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad sinus attack and heard the news just as it broke. My boss thinks it's some wierd connection. (cue Twilight Zone theme)

my thoughts and prayers are with his family..and the children that loved his show..RIP

Boy never knew what hit him.

RIP Mr. R, I will miss you!:(

Breaking News!

King Friday has been apprehended with large quantities of cash, crack cocaine, and a vial containing trace amounts of arsenic. The coroner's office is scheduling a full autopsy on the stomach contents of Mr. Rogers, but at present will not give comment to the media.

This comes as no surprise to X the Owl as he has stated to CheshireKat Post reporter that jealousy had always surrounded the Neighborhood of Make Believe, and that it was directly following Mr. Rogers' moved uptown late in 2002 that King Friday began to exibit erratic behaviors. After the Trolly was reposesed by the bank, it prompted the opening of Henrietta the Pussycat's 'PussyCat PussyLounge' assisted by the now openly gay Prince Tuesday as an attempt to increase revenue through tourism. Resulting from King Friday's third drug offense Queen Sara filed for divorce, and Probation officer McFeely states it marked the King's final decent into maddness.

This is an unfortunate developement, and will be followed closely.

I use to watch him as a kid it sucks that he is gone. r.i.p Mr. Fred Rogers

R.I.P.

Mr. Rogers showed that the real definition of a good father, husband, friend, and, essentially, the definition of a "man" is self-discipline, kindness, and compassion. Most general definitions of manliness is of egotism, judgmentalism, and "being tough"--or other variations of the act of imposing one's will on another--in essence, of selfishness. He showed that confidence can come from gentleness. He showed a model of strength from soothing and clear communication. He was an embodiment of an alternative path. He was a gentle, caring soul that brought a little bit of serenity and non-judgmentalism to this world.

RIP, Mr. Rogers, you're in a better, kinder, neighborhood now.

did he play the flute? I am trying to remember what instrument he played when he went to music lessons.

He had a whistle, I think.

It was a recorder ~ That's what prompted me to take after school lessons on how to play it.

hmm...can't remember...i'm getting old

thanks, i think it was bob on sesame street that had the flute...but like I said, i'm getting old.

You guys are right, I remembered incorrectly

he used a whistle to call in the trolley I think...so you aren't all wrong ;)

This is an awesome article about Mr Rogers that appeared in Esquire a couple years ago in a special issue on Heroes.

http://esquire.com/features/articles...ershero_2.html

And after I read it, Mr Rogers transformed from a warm childhood memory, to an example of a life of love.

He inspired me.

If you have less time, this commencement speech he gave shows why is he was a great man:
