What a wonderful entertainer.
He will always be remembered.
Well, I have bee going through a lot of celebrities deaths on the Net… Seeing some of the people that I use to watch on TV is pretty hurtfull, however seeing them is a good way to remember them in good faith. John Ritter was one of my all time favorites. He delivered his lines in such a way it was nice to watch his skill level. He was funny a super likeable he all seamed so pure and real and was or at least to me not a fony person. I loved his act and he was great in all his shows. I was very upset witht how he died he died why to young. For who he died and what really did happen will be held from the general public, but it seams that he did not have to die so young… I hope his wife and kids will find some kind of closure but that a hard pill to swallow. I lost my Mother at a very young age, she was very fit and had lots going for her, it was a very heartfelt issue for our family. I guess when you see people die for reasons unknowned, well you think of what could you have done to prevent this? God willing John will be given a second chance in Heaven. I feel very sorry for his family and I hope they will be able to carry on a life without him in a good way.
Sorry for your lost, your lost was a big deal with the whole world. God Bless you and your family..
