Roberto Bolanos Obituary

MEXICO CITY - Roberto Gomez Bolanos, the iconic Mexican comedian who wrote and played the boy television character "El Chavo del Ocho" that defined a generation for millions of Latin American children, died Friday, the Televisa television network said. He was 85.

Known as "Chespirito," he changed comedy in Latin America, taking his inspiration from Laurel and Hardy as well as Mexico's other transcendent comedian who eventually made it to Hollywood, Cantinflas. The cause of death was not immediately announced.

Mis condolencias para la familia del señor Roberto Gómez ( el chavo ). Siempre esperaba con anhelo los lunes por la noche para ver el chavo. Siempre me hizo reír y gozar. Y todavía sigo disfrutando de sus programas. Sin embargo aunque el Señor Roberto ha muerto Dios nos ofrece una hermosa esperanza. Se encuentra en Juan 11 : 25 Jesús dijo " Yo soy la resurrección y la vida, el que ejerce fe en mi aunque muera llegará a vivir "

Nuestras más sinceras condolencias a la familia, doña Florinda. Me crié en Puerto Rico viendo el chavo y el chapulín con mis abuelos. Les enseñe a mis hijos con lo que me divertía sanamente y ellos lo gozaron. Pero creo en lo que promete Dios:
“ y tengo esperanza en cuanto a Dios, esperanza que estos mismos también abrigan, de que va a haber resurrección así de justos como de injustos.” Hechos 24:15. Espero les consuele como me consuela a mi. YM

Lamento mucho la muerte de chespirito sin duda Un personaje que hizo reir a todo mundo. Espero Dios les de mucho consuelo y tranquilidad en estos momentos dificiles, Dios no desea vernos sufrir de ninguna manera por lo tanto el promete que muy pronto acabara con la muerte" Ademas el promete que "Habra resureccion de Los muertos asi de Justos como de injustos"

Thank You Mr. Bolanos for bringing "Chavo del 8" and other characters to life. We discovered your characters late in life and enjoyed watching them. May your wife "Dona Florinda" find comfort in prayers and blessings sent to her, your children and great grand children. May all family, friends, colleagues and public, find solace in viewing your reruns. Godspeed "Chespirito" and Rest in Peace.

Don Roberto, May you rest in peace. Thank you for all those years making, not only children, but entire families happy watching your shows. My children, although did not speak Spanish, grew up with your shows, and from time to time they would watch you. May the beautiful memories of loving moments with your loved ones, ease the pain of losing you.

It truly saddens me to hear about the passing of such a talented individual. He always brightened my day whenever I watched his show on tv and dvd's. I love the innocent humor in all his characters. He was so intelligent. Thank you so much for bringing laughter in my life. May your soul rest in peace.
