Okay, no they didn't, but the picture of that statue of him in this NYTimes article makes him look like someone who died in a nuclear holocaust or Pompeii event. It's rather horrific and frightening.
(Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?)

He was a great man. I remember meeting him as a child, and he was wonderful to me even though I was too shy to approach him.
So HE came up to ME.
I am glad to see they are still working in his name, and I hope he isn't forgotten. His show was a staple of my life growing up, and he taught me that you could be a kind, gentle man without being a push over.
We could all do worse than his example.

Absolutely agree.

I loved Mr. Rogers but was scared to death of Lady Elaine!

I think everyone was scared of Lady Elaine.

Yep. She was scary.
I also agree with Alcon's assessment of that statue.

I always thought Mr. Rogers was boring.
But I'm satisfied that he did a good life's work.

I loved Mr. Rogers. I was happy that my older children got to watch him for a little while.
