.... wheres the poem?

[xtaxplayer]

This the perfect tribute to Henry Gibson . . . Posted as a poem with no poem. Poetic justice I would say.

[tuttt99]

[mannyblacque]

i can't believe they didn't include him in last nights In Memoriam montage!

[paultinsel]

[markanthony1920]

Does anyone know where Chelsea Brown is these days ?

[paultinsel]

[markanthony1920]

I didn't know he passed away.

What a joy he was to listen to and watch on laugh in when i was young and recently on boston legal.

In God's care, thanks for the laughs, rest in peace my friend.

R.I.P Henry The movie BLUES BROTHERS is one of my fav's and your performance was HUGE to me in it.

[YaYaJuke]

he sure had a sweet face.... more hugs

[GunSotsOverMe]

He died? Ah shame what a great shame. Rest in peace and quite.

[wmlfan9]

Very nice, Paul. Thanks. A minor quibble, though. He was born in 1935, not 1939.

[paultinsel]

I KNOW IF YOU LOOK AT THE TITLE IT SAYS 1935...I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY KEYBOARD..i didnt see the mistake till after i posted...i'm glad ya liked it any way...thanks...lol..i knew someone was gonna see that :P

[llippitz]

[hal9600]

Another piece of my youth fades away to be replaced by a fond memory..... I used to be able to do a spot on impersonation of him.

To his family and friends i offer my hearfelt condolences for your loss

[junkie4vids]

2009 is a year in which many many celebrities, singers, athletes, political figures, and other notables died. Even the guy who sang "Those Are The People Who Died", Jim Carroll, passed away this year. They are dropping like flies in 2009.

[paultinsel]

i was also a fan of jim carroll too!

[arthurleino]

RIP Henry.

[mettanc]

Bit by bit ... the pop culture of my childhood fades away. RIP Henry Gibson and Mary Travers.

[paultinsel]

i know how you feel...

[Chris2550525]

As a child I always liked Henry Gibson.

[BartowWing]

I met Henry once in the last 1960's. He was doing a promo with Ruth Buzy at a local supermarket in Folsom, Ca. I was just 8 or 9 years old but I'll never forget meeting him.

RIP Henry.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

What a shame!

My condolences to the family! He was excellent in The Burbs.

In addition to Henry Gibson's special talent, he was a sweet guy. I was a writer on Laugh-In -- my first writing gig I ever had. I was just a 20 year old kid, but Henry treated me like I was "somethin special". He wrote many of his poems, but delivered the poems the writers wrote for him with his delightful delivery. Henry and I would run into each other at various Laugh-In tributes -- still the same great guy. I'll miss him. ...Rowby

[JayPhilosopher]

"Laugh-in" was a great show. It made us all feel a little more free and embrace the world and each other a little more. Thanks to Henry for contributing his quiet and sweet poetry. Thanks for your writing contributions to making the world a better place to live and be.

[M4R1AB4TEM4N]
