A marvelous kind gentleman that openly funny to all levels of America : Haven't mentioned all the unpaid hilarious USO show tours to Vietnam with trouper beauty Ann Margret and the Les Brown orchestra generously entertaining thousands of our self sacrificing service brave men & women - Bravo!

Remembering Bob Hope, You'll enjoy this.

I had forgotten that he lived to be 100, and also didn't realize it has been over 13 years since he died.

Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his show. He touched a lot of lives during his life.

Thought you might enjoy a bit of memory touching. Enjoy and recall a true comedian.
