Just think of all the military folks waiting for him, not to mention his old comedy buddies. What a reunion!

Thanks for the Memories.

His political/topical humor was the absolute best. So much of today's tv, movies, and music suffers from a lack of material, but that never happened to him. He knew the value of employing a large staff of writers and admitted that on many occasions. Smart, smart man.

He came and saw us out in the boonies when no one else would.

He brought us laughter and smiles...and some really pretty women, too.

He was always on our side, even when no one else was.

There was never anyone else like him. He will be missed.

Sad news, he was a real role model who never disappointed. All you can take with you from this life is your good works and reputation, he leaves here a wealthy man.

sad to see the great men of my youth slowly leaving us... sadder because those that are replacing the void are less than a shadow of the original man.

Although born in England, he loved America and voluntarily placed himself in dangerous situations in order to bring a little slice of home to our troops on the battlefield. I hope the President orders flags to be hung at half mast in honor of this great patriot.

Thanks for the memories, Bob. Rest in peace. You've earned it.

I saw he and his show on the flight deck of the USS Midway CVA-41 in Dec 1972 in Singapore. It was a taste of home after nine hard months on Yankee Station ... he will be missed

This weekend PBS was showing a commercial for an upcoming documentary about the life of Bob Hope. My wife asked me, "Is he still alive?". I told her that he is, but it's just a matter of time before he passes. I have heard predictions in the past that his funeral will be one of the largest ever.
