When our son was little, he drew a picture and wrote a note to Tim. My husband tracked down an address and sent it to Tim. Tim autographed it with a note and mailed it back. Our son was thrilled. What a sweet man!

He was also really funny on the show "Yes,Dear."

What a class act and a gentleman!

yes, Dick was in Elephants - i knew it wasn't harvey in Elephants; sorry to mislead. i was just saying in general, there were many scenes where the rest of the cast were silent, looking away from the camera, shoulders shaking! lyle, ken too.

Dick is still acting - saw him in the Poppins movie.

I LOVE this.

He’s 93 now. This is a few years old, but he sure moved good for a guy in his 80’s.

I remember reading an article about Tim Conway in TV Guide many, many years ago. He said that he would receive fan letters from kids, and they would say something along the lines of "if you're ever in <city>, please come by and say hi!" and he actually did it. I always thought that was really funny and said a lot about him. Could you imagine finding Tim Conway on your doorstep?

When I was in high school I worked at a pizza place and Liberace loved our pizza. One night he offered to deliver a pizza for us. We all wanted go along to see the look in the person’s face when they opened their door and saw Liberace standing there with their pizza. 😁. The boss wouldn’t let us go along, though - someone had to stay and work. Liberace was a very, very nice man and very good to his fans.

Just saw that Grumpy Cat passed on May 14. My youngest loved Grumpy Cat (when she was 4, she got GC books and stickers and a stuffy for Christmas -- it was adorable.)

RIP Grumpy Cat and Calamity Jane and Barnacle Boy.

So sad to hear of the passing of Bart Starr. He was one of the good guys.
