Bless you Mr. Hope while you are off to the road of paradise.

[Pharmboy]

A long and amazing life. Great timing; great delivery; great presence. If you enjoy your work, it has been said that it promotes longevity; he must have loved his.

RIP.

To all that have given their life in military service: Big USO show in heaven tonight!

[Pegita]

Tears at his passing ...

[laweeks]

Bless his soul. What a great man. Are there any "real" Hollywood legends left anymore?

[Rummyfan]

God rest his soul.

He can now play with Hogan and Snead and Crosby, if they'll let him in the foursome.

Our military never had a better friend.

A true American Patriot.

God Bless Bob Hope and his family.

He will be missed.

[Lazamataz]

WOW!

That was a long time coming....

[TexasGunLover]

God bless him... what a shame and what a great guy. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Hope.

Is it for real this time?

If so, it's the end of an era...

[MaryFromMichigan]

End of an era..... :(

[L.N. Smithee]

Nuts. Well, I can't say I didn't see this coming.

A masterful comedian, a super American, and a great human being! Indeed, Bob, thanks for the millions of memories!

[EternalVigilance]

Thanks for the memory
Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet
Our wond'rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette
How lucky I was

And thanks for the memory
Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki
We had a pad in London but we didn't stop for tea
How cozy it was

Now since our breakup I wake up
Alone on a gray morning-after
I long for the sound of your laughter
And then I see the laugh's on me

But, thanks for the memory
Of every touch a thrill, I've been through the mill
I've lived a lot and learned a lot, you loved me not and still
I miss you so much

Thanks for the memory
Of how we used to jog even in a fog
That barbecue in Malibu, away from all the smog
How rainy it was

Thanks for the memory
Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
How brainy he was

Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Together we'd go to a great show
But now I begin with the Late Show
And wish that you were watching, too

I know it's a fallacy
That grown men never cry, baby, that's a lie
We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die
And thank you so much

The Library of Congress file on Bob Hope

[XRdsRev]

WABC News in New York is now reporting this

[TomServo]

Fox just confirmed.

I know people need to hurry to get their breaking news posted first but I would personally like to see a more respectful headline. Call me silly (or whatever you like) but Mr. Hope deserves more from us than 'Bob Hope is Dead' in my humble opinion.
