He'll be missed as he and his crew were part of many many people's childhoods. RIP.

I never really watched the show, but I appreciate his contribution to children's television. Fred Rogers last year, now the Captain. Who's next, Easy Reader?

I hope someone sings the Colgate Flouride song at his funeral...
Colgate Flouride MFP, helps prevent the ca-vi-ty, and it tastes great naturally!

Captain, thanks for the memories, and for taking all those ping-pong balls from Bunny Rabbit for us.

Never really watched the show or Fred Rogers but I know that had quite a contibution to the thousands of kids who grew up watching them.

There are probably too many from the younger crowd on this forum that didn't have a chance to appreciate great morning television with the likes of the Captain and Mr. Rogers. Both are a great loss to a generation of children.
