But it makes my heart soar to know that our children will be raised by parents who grew up with Mr. Rogers. We can honor Mr. Rogers' memory by being good parents, by volunteering in our schools, and by showing someone young that we care.

I used to work at PBS and there was a story everyone knew. Not sure if it's true, but it was reported that one day his car was stolen. Papers in there indicated who the owner was. Apparently the thief noticed them and became conscience-stricken because the next day the car was returned to Mr. Rogers' house with a note of apology.
By the way, in the 10 years I worked at PBS, I never heard a whiff of anything remotely disparaging of this consummately decent man. What you saw was what you got. RIP

what a freak. they're treating him as if he's some crazy holy man; like they're afraid of him putting a curse on them if they just call him out for being an obviously and ridiculously crazy fuck.

Mr. Rogers WAS a holy man. Don't you know that holy means "set apart"? He was too, he lived life not afraid to be made fun of or hated for being kind and patient, unlike the rest of the world.

This film brought tears to my eyes. Mr. Fred Rogers was the dearest mostly Godly man. I think this is my very favorite youtube film ever. His neighborhood show was such a blessings for all ages. Thank you Mr. Rogers for all you have done and the legacy of goodness you left behind for generations to learn from. † I love you just the way you are!

Fred Rogers was an amazing speaker. Whether in the childrens realm or even in the national forum. Just look at how he completely breaks Pastore's angy demeanor and stand-offish stance in a matter of minutes with powerful and well though out speech.
RIP Mr. Rogers you were always my third grandfather.

i loved mr. rogers as a child. i met him when i grew into an adult. he talked to me so kindly and still made me feel as special as an adult as he did when i was a child. he was truly a caring person not just with the people he knew but he cared for the whole world. i think we should all try more to be like fred.

Kick Ass!
Mr. Rogers was a staple in my childhood, I doubt I would be the same person without his creativity and openness.

Meekness is another ... ( 1 day ago by susulovesjesus)

Meekness is another word for humility. Humility is actually a strength. "Meek" does not necessarily equal "weak" ...especially in reference to Fred Rogers.

As with all his songs, the last song he quoted was truly masterfully written. "I can stop when I want to, stop when I wish, stop stop stop ...anytime. And what a good feeling to feel like this and know the feeling is really mine, to know that there's something deep inside that helps us become what we can..."
I find myself with my own feelings. I realize it really is that simple and such a good feeling to know I can be in control.
What a perfect message to every walk of life.
