So I turned on the TV to wake up this morning, and was greeted with the words, "Fred Rogers was 74." WAS? Sure enough, after a little channel surfing, the horrible news is confirmed. Mr Rogers is dead.
A man of infinite humor, and tons of patience. He didn't mind being made fun of, and even helped out sometimes. He was incredibly consistent, always there for a whole generation or two of children. He didn't press his religion on people, but showed the strong moral standards he believed in by example, with explanation.
You can argue that his show was simple. You can say whatever you want. Mr Rogers was a good man, and while his website gives advice on how to help children deal with the loss, where's the advice for us adults who just lost another link to our innocence?
