Oh, that's sad. I remember him. He and Mr. Greenjeans. I also watched Gene London, Sally Starr and Chief Halftown.

Clarabell the Clown from Howdy Doody. Captain Kangaroo. We sure will miss you, thanks so much for being with me growing up. That is sad.

Oh no! How sad. May he rest in peace.

How very sad. I really enjoyed watching Captain Kangaroo when I was a child. He seemed to be a very warm and caring individual. May he rest in peace.

Dan -- thanks for posting the pictures.

I too grew up watching the Captain. I sat in front of our t.v. many mornings watching him and learning, while having so much fun.

Thanks, Captain.

It's been a bad week for boomers in Chicago. Earlier this week, Ray Rayner died. He hosted a morning kids show and was also on the Bozo show here. He had a big dog named Cuddly Duddly.

Captain Kangaroo spoke at my brother's college commencement--many of the grads threw ping pong balls around.

Mr. Greenjeans, Dancing Bear, Grandfather Clock, Bunnyrabbit and Captain Kangaroo. Oh, how I miss them all.

Wow....I've had trouble finding people that know who Gene London and Sally Starr are....

I have an autographed picture of Sally.......

I just saw this news and I am actually crying over this one. I watched the Captain for years and I loved Mr. Moose. He made Romper Room look pretty darn stupid. This is very sad for me.

Oh my. How very sad.

I met him a few years ago and consider that to be a wonderful moment in my life.

His gentle way seems almost lost in today's world but I remember it so very well and will appreciate it forever.

He will certainly be missed.

How very much he will be missed. I grew up watching him and Mr. Moose. I must be be getting"younger" all the shows I grew up with are no more or kids never heard of them. At least I still have Mickey Mouse.

We Thirty-somethings are losing all contact with our youth.... First Mr. Hooper, then Mr. Wizard, Mr. Rogers and now the Captain. What a sad day. I think I'll drop some ping pong balls on DS's head as a memorial.

Thanks for helping to make childhood imaginative and fun old friend.

I was thinking of him the other night as I was reading Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel to my daughter.
