    He was my very favorite entertainer too. I loved what he did for the troops. He gave a few minutes of laughter and joy to lots of young people far away who never saw their homes again. He never had to resort to foul language or raunchy jokes to get a laugh. They don't make them like him anymore.

    I bet heaven is having the greatest party right now. Bob, Thanks for the Memories!!!

    the world without Bob Hope.

    the statistic that made me think was his knowing
    Calvin Coolidge........11 presidents in all!

    wow!!!

    hey kids!

    no matter HOW famous some of today's stars are
    they will never, ever be as well known or have a
    career like his...so pay attention to the treasures we have from yesterday......tomorrow's a different day.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    I saw that on the news this morning.

    I know he had an incredible life though, just look at all he did, especially for the troops--he sure was an inspiration!!

    Rest In Peace, Bob, and thanks for the memories!

    Bob Hope was/is such a treasure.
    He gave so much, when it came to
    supporting our troops.
    He will be sorely missed, not only as an entertainer
    but as a wonderful person.

    A true American institution and a national treasure. How sad to think he is gone But what a legacy he has left behind. And what pleasure he gave to our troops during their difficult days. And if any of the younger ones haven't yet had the pleasure, go check out some of his "Road Trip" movies with Bing Crosby and the likes of Dorothy Lamour and Carmen Miranda... Thanks for the memories, Mr. Hope!

    It's sad to see all of the icons from my parent's day dying. He was a great man and I really respect him for all that he did for the troops. May he rest in peace now.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    He was one of the greatest! He helped keep thousands of our military personel sane through some horrible times and I'm sure they are eternally greatful. May you continue to entertain Bob....I'm sure heaven will be laughing a little harder now.
