Now as of January 14th 2021, his beloved wife Mrs. Joanne Rogers has joined him in heaven. God bless both of them.

We need Mr. Rogers now more than ever.

All superheroes don’t wear capes - some wear sweaters! Mr. Rogers - Legend Forever! Soar with the angels, Fred !

Besides Jesus Christ, he had to be the finest man to ever walk the Earth. He was such a big part of my childhood. We need more Mr. Rogers in our world. God bless him.

He was so humble he probably never realized how great he truly was.

Gosh, i am 56 and he was on our PBS in the early 70’s. Mom thought I was weird because I watched him up to jr High. I was a gay kid and it was Freds kindness that helped me get thru the harsh realities of school.Bless Fred.

I use to watch it everyday during lunch time and when he sang ,wont you be my neighbor, i would say i will always be your neighbor

If it wasn't for Fred Rogers I honestly don't think I would be the kind and humble man I am today.He taught me value of not only self but the value of others.And the importants of letting people know how special they truly are.

It's hard to believe that Mr. Rogers would be 91 years young this year. His kind is going to be so challenging to replace. Reruns of his show need to be back on the air - at least on cable network TV.

It's been 16 years, and this still makes me cry. Mister Rogers was my friend.

Truly an actual Saint was among us ..

I wish the PBS Broadcast network would show Mr Rodger's Neighborhood forever. My children watched it when they were young and they are such wonderful adults,.without prejudice, and with great respect and kindness to everyone.

Senator Pastori is more famous for this grant to Mr. Rogers than for anything else he had ever done in his whole life.

growing up, i believed, Mr Rogers was one of the only adults who loved me...very dysfunctional times, but Mr. Rogers brought comfort and empathy into my heart! God bless you Mr. Rogers and i look forward to seeing you in the 'eternal' neighborhood 😇

We need more Mr. Rogers in this world

I remember around this time that SNL had a moment where Horatio Sanz came out to an empty stage, wearing a cardigan, and just went to the edge, sat down, looked straight into the camera and said with zero trace of irony, "Thank you, Mr. Rogers." You could have heard a pin drop.

As a kid in a very uncomfortable neighborhood I always wanted to live in Mr. Rogers neighborhood. I knew I would always be welcome! He made every child feel loved and worthy of being loved.

We need mister Rogers now more than ever!

Thank you for helping me through a rough childhood. Thank you for letting me know I was loved, even if I couldn't see it at the time and that my feelings mattered. I love you Fred rogers, as If I knew you personally. That's how much love you helped get through to so many kids. Thank you for teaching me the power of forgiveness and the foresight to combat hate, with patience tolerance education and love.

I know I'm late to the party but I loved this man so much. He made me a better person because he really cared.

Fred Rogers is the most kind and gentle person on earth. I will always love him. Always.

We need more people like Mr Rogers. This world is so full of hatred .

He's like my legend. My true teacher. My man. I grew up watching Mister Rogers Neighborhood in mid-90s, more often in summer. It saddens me 1000 times that he passed away. Nowadays it grew a bit darker around the world. But Mister Rogers inspired thousands of people to create a tremendous community. His kindness is more powerful than the war. Then the weaponry. Then the unnecessary anger. Then the harmful drugs. I thanked him for making me a grown man and soon meet some kind people.

Fred Rogers is one of the most genuine people to walk the earth, period!

Mr rodgers will always be in my heart.

It's really sad after he ended his long running show he didnt get a chance to enjoy retirement and perhaps travel around a bit with family he died to soon, but in the end he did accomplish one important mission in life and that was he reached out to everyone and treated everyone the same with the upmost amazing compassion ever that you will never see again from anyone else RIP Fred Rogers

Rip beautiful mr rogers❤️

What a beautiful & gentle man.

Our society is missing this man. We need more people like him today. Mr. Rogers was a person I knew I could trust. I loved his neighborhood and wished he really was my neighbor so I could visit him.

I remember Mr. Rogers in my tears of sadness, pain and heartache. I am so so so glad I am being reminded of this manly gentleman who tried very hard to live the life of a true Christian. However, even as many might be crying there are children being put in harms way, stripped from their parents and/or their favorite adult and caretaker in this country. God will not forget nor forgive that sin. Mr. Rogers speaks to us adults with the same clarity, honesty, sincerity and authenticity that he spoke to us as children. He made sure not to speak down to us then and he didn't do it as we "grew" up. He was engaging, humble and caring. Modest in habits and wanted to be of service to his family and to the greater community. We were introduced to mature subjects because we could handle them as long as someone was there who CARED to patiently explained them to us. And he was passionate about education. I could go on and on. There is nothing weird about him because...he was a normal...human being. People like normal...believe it or not. Even as each of us are unique. The way we were created to be. Thank you for this very moving tribute...bye 🚎.

I was raised on fred Rogers and I sure miss him

February 27th will always carry an awkward feeling of sadness and confusion left with what stomach cancer is and how fragile life can be. Fred, I was blessed to watch your show, and I'm incredibly glad to call you my neighbor then and now. Our nation sure could use you warm, genuine, kind, and caring self but instead we are left with what you left behind for us to learn off of. You are not forgotten, but you are sorely missed. If I could go back in time I would, because you were truly one of the people worth doing so. May you rest in peace. You will always be missed.😢

With tears 😭 in my eyes and heart filled with both joy and sadness, I say thank you Fred Rogers.

With this world going mad now, we need Fred Rodgers to help the kids today see the positive side of thing's. He was a wonderful role model to us growing up. I learned more from him than I learned in school. He left a legacy and wonderful memories. Crazy stuff is happening in this generation and there is so much hate and anger, confusion and intolerance. If any of these people would have watched Mr. Rodgers, maybe we wouldn't have all the problems we are having now. Maybe we could learn to love and respect one another more than we do now. But there will never be another guy like him who has a heart of gold and who only saw human beings, not black, white, disabled, or whatever. Someone said "Mr. Rodgers didn't die, God needed a neighbor". I say he just went home and those of us who took him seriously will see him again when its our turn to leave this earth. Rest in Peace Mr. Rodgers. We love and miss you.

"looks like you just earned the 20 million dollars" With nothing but love in his heart and the courage of his conviction Mr. Rogers single handedly saved PBS.

RIP I love you Mister Rogers from 8 years old to a fifty four year old man ive been a part of your Neighborhood and I love you Fred Rogers you are Sadly missed

I love you 💕 Mr. Rodgers I always will. He loves me just the way I am. Beautiful soul

I would have voted mr. Rogers for president in a heart beat. Decency is a non negotiable virtue

I loved and still love him greatly. He's my gentle friend, still.

R.I.P. Fred you were the greatest

The world was a better place with this wonderful man!!!!! Can’t stop crying!!!!

Nothing now even tries to replicate this voice of honesty and understanding for young children.

Mr Rogers is the best thing on television for children. He had a God given gift, and should be remembered for that gift and his love for us all. A gentle giant? Here one stood.

My childhood had Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Words would diminish how that affected and directed my life. Thank you Mr. Rogers for making this world right.

Very proper. Hard to do justice to a life of service in 90 minutes. Well done, good and faithful servant. You blessed me. Much love!

When I was little I always watched him and I liked it when he would tell me I like you just the way you are! We need more people like him for our little ones! Miss you Mr. Rogers!

I grew up watching him, I learned a lot from him. He was a kind, sweet, caring, loving, such a gentle man. He made such an impact in childrens lives. He will never ever be forgotten. I loved him. My heart broke 💔 when he died, but he's in a better place. Rip, Mr. Roger. Thank you so much for being my TV neighbor.

There will never be another Mr. Rogers he’s one of a kind God bless him we know he’s gone but not forgotten

2023 needs more people like Mr. Rogers.

Oh dear God! Thank you for Fred Roger’s! However in 2019 we have lost so much. Not just Fred but our world is so far away from where it was. We need programming like Mr. Rogers again

My son was born in 2002; I remember the day vividly that I turned on the tv and saw the announcement of his passing. I started to cry, and literally said, " How can you leave now when I need you". Here I was a new mother with my first child, intending to watch Mr. Rogers, and counting on him being there. I really felt, as these others have indicated, that I had a personal relationship with him, and didn't realize how deeply he had impacted me until I started to cry.

7:19 to 11:49 Mr. Rogers melted the senator's heart, and changed millions of lives for the better. Thank you and RIP Mr. Rogers 🙏

I have made this statement to others as a reply, and several times as its own comments. To those saying we need Mr. Rogers now... You be the Mr. Rogers in your neighborhood. You be the helper.

It is that thing that makes us feel appreciated and liked and wanted that enables life to go on.

I grew up watching the show every chance i got. What a wonderful, joyful, caring, funny man. Missed Greatly!

I miss that guy. I loved watching him when I was a little kid sad that he's gone even though he's gone now for so many years it brings tears to my eyes

Mr.Rogers my brother and I were blessed to watch your show and be your neighbor. My favorite character in the Neighborhood of Make believe was Henrietta Pussycat my brothers favorite character was Lady Elaine. When the lord called you home I remember clips of the show being shown and Chris and I watched enjoying childhood memories. Via KZfaq I will share your work with my great nephews and eventually my children.God bless

I am 65 years old. I am 6'3, weigh 265 pounds and have always been regarded as a pretty tough guy. I am not ashamed to say that watching this video made me weep. After watching this memorial to this lovely man, I watched news footage of what took place in the capitol building. And I think what made me cry was the realization that our country has lost its soul. Mister Rogers didn't just give lip service to decency and empathy and compassion and forgiveness and love. He lived those ideals. Over the past few days I've heard many people say of America, that this is not who we are. Yes, sadly it is. But we as a nation don't have to remain this way. I don't know the answer to how we can change, but there are enough good people who know we must change that will lead us out of this ugly wilderness we are in. Fred Rogers looked for the good in people. He brought out the good in people. One of Mister Rogers most well know quotes said we must look to the helpers. Well helpers, it's time to roll up your sleeves because there is a lot of work to be done. Bless you Fred Rogers. And thank you for leaving us with a road map to find our way out of this sad mess.

Mr Rogers was a huge part of my childhood there will never be another like Fred he was truly a champion of humanity and a hero......

What a tribute! I wish, as a boy, I would have been more aware of his program. Maybe I wouldn’t listen to loud crazy noises that affect us today! We are always in such a hurry...and so angry! I wish I would have been part of his world more often! I might have learned patience and love and other such attributes!!!

Rest in peace Mr. Rogers! I am sure that our son in Heaven Derek was there to welcome Mr. Rogers into the gates of Heaven! Thank you for your dedication to your ministry... God bless you!

Yes Mr Rogers is very Special in the hearts of many people including me thank Mr Rogers RIP.

This is beautiful. Thank you for providing us with this memorable video.

Thanks for being there for me and my family and friends adore you have a peaceful life in heaven.

Who in the world would vote this video down???

I love you Mr. Rogers!! Thank you for loving all of us...each of us...and making each of us feel so special

Thank you Fred Rogers for your voice of love and compassion and forgiveness and respect and support and acceptance and the teachings that you put out there what a heart you had may be a reach out to kids but it has reached a 45 year old male. Myself and want to say that you very much

Very nice tribute to Mr. Rogers. The movie was just touching and it had me in tears. What this world needs is more kindness and understanding. Mr. Rogers was the type of man who took the time to get to the root of our problems and to meet us halfway. His life spoke well for itself. I'm so glad my brother and I grew up watching him. He definitely was an inspiration to all walks of life.

Rest Easy In Heaven Mr. Roger's. I watched your show all the time when I was growing up, I never missed it!! You were a great man with a heart of gold! Much Love And Respect to you sir.

Wow. He was an amazing man. RIP Mr. Rogers.

To those of us who grew up in dysfunctional home, watching 30 minutes of Mister Rogers a day was an escape, a place were we could be a child and let our imagination run free. It brings tears to my eyes because he made me feel like he was talking directly to me as if I was the only one watching. He touched so many childrens lives and made the world a better place. A person like Mister Rogers is rare and sorely missed. 😢🕊

I enjoyed watching he had a beautiful spirit heart that touched lives families

Still so very inspiring to listen to Fred and all those he influenced by being so present to each person he met. I did not meet the man and I am still struck by his kindness, as a gay, two spirited elder, I still aspire to be present to others and myself as a listener. Kindest regards, Wanagi nupa chan duta ska--Two spirited sycamore tree in flexibility as a listener in my 73rd winter.

Still crying .... the first show of his I remember was going to the crayon factory. He fostered my curiosity. I hope I can make just one person at least feel like they had a true friend just like Mr. Rogers did for me. Rest in paradise. You fought the good fight. God bless your soul!

Hi, I´m writing from South America, Agentina. But I lived in Panama city. So I saw some of Mr Fred Rogers tv programs. A humanist in all aspect. I hope some of all of us have some of his enormous hart and love for our neighbors. Thanks Mr Fred. (and sorry for my poor english)

WHO WILL FILL MR ROGERS SHOES NO ONE ONLY MR ROGERS CAN FILL THESE SHOES WE LOVE YOU MR ROGERS THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR CHILDREN.

He was right about the things getting into the minds of children. It's still is today.

He would be disappointed with what is on TV today especially the long running childrens shows that have changed and not for the better.

I didn't watch much of his show as a child, however....This man as far as I'm concerned was just too good for this world.

Growing up in an abusive and tumultuous house I never knew anything but drunkenness and violence. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was my safe place, my escape. I watched it longer than most kids my age and still catch myself watching an episode from time to time when I can. I work as a School Resource Officer now and I try to take every opportunity to share love with every child I am fortunate enough to be there to protect. I try to make sure that make sure every child feels as special and Fred Rogers made me feel as a child. The world needs more Fred Rogers.

I never knew how wonderful Mr. Rogers and his Neighborhood was incredibly wonderful while I sat with the children to visit with him. I was astonished and so happy my children listened carefully and smile and laugh with him as much as I did too. Thank you for allowing to be part of your neighborhood - we miss you. RIP

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? This man was a kind and generous and loving man. I am so sad that my childrendidn't get the privilege and honor of growing up with him like I did. I watched his show way into my teen years. And I'm so grateful that his wife put out his movies and book last year and honor of his 90th birthday.

RIP Mr Rogers I miss you so much we need another Fred Rogers in our lifetime television needs someone like Fred cause I feel like it's changed since Fred's memorial service. I love him so much

Fred Rogers was a giant among men, and quite possibly the single most influential person in the history of television. He not only represented what is best in caring about the education and wellbeing of children both en mas and as individuals, he also represented what is best in humanity, prioritizing their knowledge and fostering their ability to fit into a rapidly changing world and that fear and anger were to be felt and handled constructively, just like any other emotion or feeling. We couldn't miss him more than we do today. He was always a mountain of stability for us in a world of questions, wonder and chaos. Do yourself a giant favor and watch Tom Hanks' portrayal of him in the movie A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. It will forever change for the better how you feel about a man you already know and love. 😀

thankyou mr rogers for touching my heart and makeing me happy

Mr. Rogers is by far one of those people I came to recognize when I was still in kindergarten back in the early 90s. Though I didn't understand much of what he was trying to teach, he had a personality right alongside the characters of Sesame Street (which I often watched at the time). Now as an adult, it makes perfect sense after seeing the reruns of what I vaguely remembered those years ago. Morals that cannot be denied. And I wouldn't have known who violinist Itzhak Perlman would be had it not been for Disney's Fantasia 2000. Glad he got involved in this tribute.

I know I'm late and due to my age I did not find out how much I loved Mr. Rogers till I was older around 9 or 10 years old I am 27 now and I still watch an episode of Mr. Rodgers A-day to get me through these hard times. Fly high Mr. Rogers till we see you again!

"Mr.Rodgers didn't die, god just needed a new neighbor" - Christopher Perry-Hardy

RIP Mr. Rodgers. You are and will always be simply the best.

He even took the hardest hearted and toughest man and brought out his gentle side with Fred's very own words.He was and still will always be the greatest man to ever truly impact the world in the most beautiful way.Mr.Rogers brought out a true inspiring faith back into humanity and proved that despite flaws we are all perfect and loved just the way we are.Thank you Fred Rogers.Thank you for restoring faith in mankind.

I used to watch Mr. Rodger's in my 50s after work at my high stress job. He was very good medicine. I miss him.

He was an inspiration to everyone

RIP Mr. Rodgers, our neighbor ❤️❤️❤️

I'm going to be 80 years old I'll never give up mister Rodgers neighborhood

We love Mister Rogers. May he rest in peace. He provided me with peace in my darkest days growing up

I was so moved watching this. May we carry on Fred Rogers’ legacy of caring for our littlest children. ❤️ Thank You God for the life & legacy of Fred Rogers. May Your testimony live on. 🕊

Thank you for posting this video, I hope it goes viral. Children both young and older need to see this program. Mr Roger's will live forever if we continue to share his kind words and thoughts, with our neighbors and loved ones including strangers that cross our path. Love is a wonderful gift that can be gifted unlimited times. The warmth stays in our hearts forever when we remember good people and good times. ❤

God bless him! I was blessed and got to watch him growing up. I always made sure to be in front of the TV for the beginning! What happened to all those great children's shows?

I felt like fred rogers is the best example of the good side we all can become but were so shy or afraid that the world would make fun of us. But always remember that we're all love by just being ourselves, and never forget the people that help and loved us 😊❤️

This amazing tribute needs to be shown on all major television networks to show everyone and remind everyone how wonderful he was. This world has gone backwards since his passing in 2003, and the young people who did not grow up with this gifted human being can not comprehend any of this nor do they want to WHY? Is it so terrible for something good and a person like Fred Rogers to be discarded as a fluke or not important to think about ? Anyone who does not like what he stood for or the kind of person he was has no heart and is not worthy of being a human being Period !!!!!
