Not sure what to say?

He brought me years of entertainment. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. Donner's character of Yancy Tucker always brought a very big smile to my face. I loved the fact that "Yancy" was always so devoted to his animals, as I have 7 cats and every one of them sleep with me at some point during the night.

I will always think of Mr. Donner with a smile and be greatful that he brought such a wonderful, loving touch to the character of Yancy.

God Bless Mr. Donner and his family.

RIP UNCLE BOBBY, WE LOVE AND MISS YOU. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY YOU MADE ME LAUGH WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. I AM BLESSED WITH GREAT MEMORIES THAT INVLOVE YOU. THE WAY YOU MADE ME SMILE ON MY GRADUATION DAY, BECAUSE OF SOME OFF THE WALL JOKE YOU MADE ABOUT MY DRESS, AND THAT IT SHOWED TO MUCH. THESE MEMORIES WILL STAY WITH ME FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE, AND MORE. THIS IS NOT A "GOODBYE", ITS MORE LIKE AN "I'LL BE SEEING YA"

WITH LOVE YOUR NIECE,
KRISTOFER

Jill, My brother, Barry Fleming, loved your husband and when he called me several days ago and told me of Bob's death we were both deeply saddened. I met Bob several times when he brought many of his California friends to Charleston, WV, for a celebrity golf tournament held at my brother's golf course. I played golf with Bob, Leslie and Barry once in California while on a trip and we all had a great time together. Bob was always great to Barry and will forever be remembered as one of the...

My sympathies to Robert Donner's family. His work will keep his talent alive for future generations to see his greatness. May he rest in peace.

Goodnight, Yancy...

Requiescat In Pace!
Robert Donner was one of my favorite
characters in The Waltons. I always
liked the fact he slept with his dogs and I can identify with that as
my cat sleeps with me!
Goodnight Robert!

Jillie - i will miss him calling me brandes. He always had a joke for me before you picked up the phone. I loved him and I love you. My thoughts are with you every day. Hoping he runs into my mom.

My heart goes out to the Jill & the Donner family. Bob was a lovely, handsome, and hysterically funny man. We met in '68 on the set of an awesomely awful Otto Preminger film. Bob was a switchboard operator. Me: a small town tart! We spent many days of the shoot drowning our sorrows in dry martini's. Bob was Beefeater. Me: Shmirnof. He knew everybody! And was loved by all.

I will certainly raise a glass to this wonderful, wonderful man who will be sadly and sorely missed.
