20 years ago today, on February 27th, 2003, all of us, children and grownups said goodbye to our favorite neighbor, Fred Rogers a.k.a. Mister Rogers. He went home to god at the age of 74. He has the energy to entertain us, from his early days on the first educational program, "The Children's Corner" to his years as host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and for over 55 years in the neighborhood, he was always prepared and dedicated. Shortly before his death, he made a farewell message to all of us to say thanks for our support and for growing up with him and the show. I speak for all of us, his neighbors, when I say, thank you, Mister Rogers, for being OUR neighbor. The best neighbor in the world.
You've made each day very special by just your being you.
There's no person in the whole world like you, and we all like you just the way you are.
Beautiful days in the neighborhood have never been the same, but we will always cherish them in our hearts.
Thank you, Mister Rogers. Our favorite neighbor.
