Marvin W. Fishman

he was a staple at our house growing up. loved how he used to refer to Newark Oh as "Nerk", his bro-love for dale durthaler (and his organ store), and of course, his isetta clown car. he was also a supporter the columbus boychoir of which my son was a member. i saw him in his civies at one of their concerts, but i convinced the little girl in me to let him be. thanks for the laughter, sir. rest in peace

Old Fashion Hambingers! When he did Wendy's commercials

I repaired TVs. People wanted me to get there so they didn't miss him. I loved him also. My aunt lived near him and spoke about the good neighbor he was. We are blessed to have enjoyed his humor.

He played in my cousin's band. He was great and I never missed a day of watching him. He truly entertained everyone both young and old. He once came to our elementary school and preformed for us during a PTA meeting!!!! He's still being missed!!!!!

I loved Flippo the clown in the afternoons!!! I grew up in Columbus,Ohio but now Live in New England. His humor, quick wit humility and jokes kept me entertained as a 9 year old!! I remember when he left WBNS and went to cable tv in its infancy. But Flippo Clown will always hold a special place in my heart! Rest In Peace!

Picture it; 1962. My family had stopped at a gas station for fuel at the same time as Flippo. He was in full costume and makeup and driving his tiny little car. Somehow he found the room in that little car and took the time to take my brother and I for a ride a few times around the block while our parents waited. I'll never forget that kindness Flippo showed my brother and I. What a thrill that was.

So many wonderful hours spent as a kid with Bob Flippo Marvin. Loved all the classic movies. The games. All pure fun in the 60s and 70s. We need you still Flippo. I still see him flying around the skating rink, yes Flippo ice skated. No other like him. He was a kind person with a great sense of humor. Now I am 65 and still wish I could spend time with him. Loved you sir.

I met Flippo twice, once in 1961, I was 8 years old, at a Grand Opening of Press Pharmacy at Hudson and Joyce Ave and was so excited to see a TV star at arm's length I couldn't sleep that night and many years later at a Home and Garden Show at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. By this time, I was in my late 20's and still just as excited to meet a man that still had the charisma and charm, he showed 20 years earlier. There will never be another one like him and Thanks Bob for the memories!

Flippo was one of the hightlights of day in our household coming up. Living in Columbus and Newark in the 60s and 70s we always tuned in at 4. He was the greatest, I was just thinking randomly, of the according file from his show. Man, what good times.
