Bob Keeshan

I watched The Captain as a child and than again when I had children of my own. I’m now grandmother to 8 grandchildren and this generation needs the subtle yet never ending encouragement for love, kindness and generosity that The Captain showed for decades.
I miss you Captain Kanagroo!

A fantastic man who pleased children with his Captain Kangaroo character- a man who I watched as a child for as long as he lived and played the roll so wonderful I almost cried when his show ended- missing all his characters whom he talked to- mainly Mr. Rabbit...

I'm very late with this message, but wanted to say Mr. Keeshan as Captain Kangaroo brought so much joy to my childhood while I lived in a household with little joy otherwise (battling parents before their divorce). I dearly loved him and his creative way of talking to children -- he never talked "down" to children. The wonderful show fascinated me with its intelligence and warmth. He was a lovely man.

A man who shaped my childhood and whose virtues defined me today. Parents and children will always love you.

A true american hero. Never talked down to children. We will miss you Captain!!!

May he Forever Rest In Peace

Godspeed Bob, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us...

Thank you for your service to this nation.

Some of my fondest memories are of Captain Kangaroo. My Daughter also watched him.

God bless you, Captain albeit 12 years late. I was 7 years old in 1955 and loved you and all of the characters on your show. I am 68 now but I never forgot all of the lessons, including being kind to others, that you taught me. I joined the Navy at 17;earned my undergraduate degree at 26; and my law degree at 43. I spent my legal career as a trial attorney for the federal government; became a vegetarian; and a dedicated supporter of Veterans for Peace. Thank you Captain. You were my hero and role model.
