when my day comes, I'd love to be in the company of Bob Hope and Lucille Ball.

Who's that crank caller that always makes references to Howard Stern? I think I finally heard him live for the first time on CNN as they were going over this story. :| They had to cut him off.

So long, Bob :(

May you reach the pearly gates before the devil finds out you're dead.

Thanks for the memory
Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet
Our wond'rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette
How lucky I was

And thanks for the memory
Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki
We had a pad in London but we didn't stop for tea
How cozy it was

Now since our breakup I wake up
Alone on a gray morning-after
I long for the sound of your laughter
And then I see the laugh's on me

But, thanks for the memory
Of every touch a thrill, I've been through the mill
I've lived a lot and learned a lot, you loved me not and still
I miss you so much

Thanks for the memory
Of how we used to jog even in a fog
That barbecue in Malibu, away from all the smog
How rainy it was

Thanks for the memory
Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
How brainy he was

Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Together we'd go to a great show
But now I begin with the Late Show
And wish that you were watching, too

I know it's a fallacy
That grown men never cry, baby, that's a lie
We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die
And thank you so much

No way...but 100 is pretty good for someone who's lived a life like him (so full)...and to think, they had a bunch of specials on him just a few weeks ago. He's done some fine work. RIP.

At his age I knew it was coming sooner or later, but it's still sad. I love his movies and have just recently started buying them to add to my collection. I believe his family wishes were to honor him by remembering his life and by golly I'm going to do just that.

Captain Janks, Howard said he'd replay the call tomorrow on the show.
