Bob was also on "I've got a Secret." Both that and the To tell the Truth clips can be found here on YouTube.

Oh, don't we all wish that Bob was "a person in our neighborhood"? I'm not talking seeing him on the show. I mean in person, next door to everybody.

May Jesus's blessings be with you Mr. McGrath. Even on an island as far away in the Caribbean as Trinidad, you and your colleagues have impacted our lives in such an enormous way. I remember looking at you on Sesame Street during the late 1970's and 80's every weekday and admired your poise and decorum. Sesame Street just isn't the same today as we near the second coming of Christ. Sure hope you are on board! Thank you for all the memories Mr. McGrath.

When i was a kid(im 43 now) my friend Matts Aunt Judy lived a few doors next to.Bob. I remember the pet rabbits he had. Bob was so gracious and just a humble and decent person,glad to say he was the first celebrity I ever met. He's still a superhero to me today.
