Bob Denver passed away. I know this seems like little compared to what's happening right now in New Orleans, but I grew up watching this man on Gilligan's Island and he brought me joy. I remember the afternoons where I'd be at my grandma's, sitting down with a snack and turning on the show.
I've never met Mr. Denver, but I do have a small story about what kind of man he was. About two or three years ago, I checked out Mr. Denver's website and he was selling personlized autographed photos. Going through them, I picked the one I liked best and placed an order.
So a while later, an envelope arrives. When I opened it up, there were two autographed photos, both personalized. A letter from his wife Dreama was included that said they noticed some small scratches on the shipment of that photo they had, so he signed it anyway then included a second, similar but unmarked photo and signed that as well.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share that. Rest in peace, Bob Denver.
