This is a guy from my childhood. He will be missed

[Higher Learning Reloaded]

I saw it on the news, I paused and shed a tear. It was a weird moment for me because I felt like my childhood has definitely ended with the passing of such a great entertainer for children.
Atleast he died peacefully- he will be missed. :frown:

I always wondered who/what Cpt. Kangaroo was when his name popped up in some song or was referenced in some movie.

Now I know.

Now that he's dead.

This is really depressing news. Few celebrity passings are as sad as this is to me. He entertained me for many years as a child as did he for many other children. A void will be left by his passing that no one else will ever fill. RIP, Captain.

I asked Mr. Greenjeans why he was taking the backhoe out but he wouldn't tell me. (Sobs) I guess I know why now.

I hear that the new town doctor, Dr. West, will be handliing the autopsy. I'm certain he'll handle the good Captain with the dignity and respect he deserves.

I have fond memories of waking up to watch Captain Kangaroo.

Bob Keeshan was also Clarabell the Clown from Howdy Doody, IIRC.

Yep, he was. What an entertainer. He will be missed. :(
