I'm sure Mr. Rogers would still want someone to say,

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood."

Thank you, Mr. Rogers. I know you had a positive influence on my three sons.

I woke up at 4:30 am with a LOT of work to do.

Now I have to debate whether or not to tell my 4 year old.

I'm guessing not.

It's not just a Burgh thing, but it's particularly acute locally.

I hadn't thought of Mr. Rogers in such a long time, yet I had tears in my eyes after I heard on the radio that he had passed away. I grew up watching him. I remember fighting with my older brother over the tv because of him. He wanted to watch Gilligan and I just had to watch Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers, God Bless you and thanks for the memories.

I'm sure he will enjoy entertaining children in Heaven.

God bless you, Mr. Rogers. I always watched your show when I was little. I'll never forget that video about how they made crayons.

I'm at a loss. Mr. Rogers was a dear friend when I was a child, I always enjoyed visiting with him and all of his neighborhood friends.

The world will be a much colder place without the warmth and genuine affection that Fred Rogers had for the children and for mankind in general. Even though I have no children, the emptiness left in the world of the young will never be filled and I am saddened.

God be with the family of this good man and may they know peace in the same measure as the love he gave to us all.

It's like watching a piece of your childhood pass from you. Very sad. God's speed Mr. Rogers.
