All the Pitsburgh TV stations have devoted the whole news hour to this wonderful man. It bought tears to my eyes. There are not enough words for all that he did for children.

i wish they did that here.

it was so interesting to watch some of the tributes to him tonight. in the interviews he did, he sounds EXACTLY like he did on TV -- caring and calm and patient. How many well-known figures are different in real life than in public eye? Mr. Rogers wasn't fake, he was REALLY like that.

my childhood was better because of him.

My heart broke when I heard the news at work this morning. He will be missed...he was such a wonderful person that made the world a little more special.
