For me, it would be Rodney Dangerfield. He reminds me of my late Grandfather Irving, and reminds me of many of the better parts of my childhood spent with my family. Not to mention how much he still makes me laugh in Caddy Shack, Easy Money (I love the regular guy look), Back to School, and others.

Bumping because it wasn't that long ago that Rodney passed away, and because I've got some new answers.

Yogi Bera and Mel Brooks.

Yogi Bera seems like such a good person, who has given so much (a lot of it by mistake.) His inability to to get a grasp on the English language now makes him seem like an unlikely prophet.


Mel Brooks has made me laugh, so many times, with classics like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein (its pronounced "Fronkensteen!") He's still creative, and I'd hate to see him go.

Mr. Dressup's (Canadian TV personality, sort of like Mr. Rogers, but way cooler) death in 2001 really made me cry. I learned how to speak English by watching Mr. Dressup!

Omigosh, just reading that made me gasp!!

Definitely Tom Hanks.
Princess Diana still gets to me when i see stuff about it.... Still hard to believe she is gone.

You know although he was President and was an Acotr...Ronald Reagan Funeral really got to me.......I was daily choked up by it and still am sad everytime i see something about him

Gotta second and third Jim Hensen and Mr. Rogers. Their shows just remind me of such a simpler, more innocent time...when I was young and had no worries. They brought so much joy and happiness into the world.

I didn't know that Mr. Dressup died. My brother's name is Vince and I always called him "Vinnigan" like Casey and Finnigan. My kids watched him too, although Casey and Finnigan weren't on anymore. I watched him as much as Mr. Rogers (In Detroit we get channel 9 out of Windsor!)
