I used to watch all his movies when I was a kid, especially the "Road" series. My best friends father was Bob Hope's double, (uncanny resemblance!) and would entertain us with impersonations. I will look forward to the tribute programs that will surely surface on television anytime soon, and they will probably screen all the movies too. Bob Hope's comedic talents and Bing Crosby's voice were a sure winner in any movie (not to mention Dorothy Lamours curves!)

Thanks for the memories, Bob.

The "Master of the One Liner" .... and a Gentleman as well.

Keila gives a toast with a tear to one of the finest Gentleman every known.

I need to now join BoXXi in song. Yes indeed, Thanks for the memories

Adios amigo......

Bob Hope was one of a kind, he founded the U.S.O. and he did things that many Hollywood elites would never have done. He went to dangerous places in order to entertain and lift morale of troops.

In contrast to today’s crybaby celebrities like martin sheen, Barbara Streisand, Tim robins, Susan Sarandon, Jeannine garafalo, Johnny depp, Sean penny and the rest of the benedict Arnolds who strive to undermine the policies of their own county.

Actors who think they are suddenly experts in the field of national security, or that as actors they are qualified to voice their opinions in delicate matters such as nuclear proliferation.

Instead of giving of themselves and founding something like the USO as Bob Hope did, what do they do? They found not in our Name… an organization designed to undermine the foreign policies of their own country, it is an interesting comparison.

Bob hope used his celebrity status not only to entertain, but also to help the country that he loved.

amen

Pint and Old Crab were sitting on the porch when we heard the news. Old Crab sniffled a bit. Pint chuckled and said "l'll bet God is in the audience....and won't mind the zingers at all." >
