Bob Newhart’s passing….

[flossieskid]

Thank you to PatriciaAnne and Brenda for the remembrance of Bob Newhart. He was one of a kind, for sure. I think I’ve mentioned before on the Forum, that my Mom appeared on Bob’s first show 3 times. It was always a treat to see my Mom acting with friends who have been over to our house for dinner.

I saw Bob last May while attending his wife, Ginnie’s, funeral. Bob was quite frail, but at his beautiful home, he recognized me and gave me a big hug, even though he was in a wheelchair. He even remembered Ginnie use to babysit me and my brother.

Just like the joy I get from seeing my Mom on reruns of the Walton’s, I know, channel-surfing, if I see Bob on any show, I will always stop what I’m doing and sit down and watch the entire program.

Bob lived into his 90’s, was married to beautiful Ginnie for 60 years, had 4 great kids, 10 wonderful grandchildren, an amazing career and loved by millions.

We all should be as lucky…..

Tracey, so sorry for your loss. I feel Bob’s death very deeply. He voiced Bernard in my favorite Disney cartoon, THE RESCUERS. He had two successful classic TV series, he loved his family and his fans, and he did not have to be crude to be funny. And, he was hilarious. Oh, we also watch his holiday movie ELF every year. He will be missed.

So nice to come across one of your posts, Tracey. I've missed hearing from you and hope you're doing well. 💗

Bob gave so much joy to millions. I enjoyed him from when I was a child. I loved his first show which, if I recall correctly, was on right after The Mary Tyler Moore Show. What a great hour of television that was! And I also enjoyed his second show -- Joanna's sweaters, Julia Duffy's prissy snobbiness. It was such a great show -- and the ending was absolute genius! I believe you said his wife Ginny inspired it?

I'm sure everyone in Heaven is laughing a lot more since Bob arrived. 💗

Bob Newhart was such a talented actor. He had such a deadpan style of comedy. There was no one better. He also had such a long career in the field. The first Newhart Show was classic and I think everyone will remember the Newhart show ending that was all a dream in the 2nd Bob Newhart Series. He also had several great roles in movies including the Rescuers and Elf. He will be missed. May he Rest In Peace.

I liked him in the 3 The Librarian TV movies.
