Mr. Rogers

[joel]

My only memories of Mr. Rodgers were what I saw of him online on TV.

These days, when I hear of him, I'm always taken aback. When he is mentioned on websites like Reddit or Metafilter, instead of the usual bitter jaded sarcasm with which most subjects are treated, the members of those sites only speak of him with the utmost respect and kindness

I was deeply saddened when he died. That man is a saint.

Agreed. I wish there was a way to nominate a secular figure for canonization.

He had a huge impact on my childhood.
