Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Ruben) died of cancer. He was one of my top 5 comedians.
I loved his humor and outlook at life. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is such
a great movie. I am so saddened by this news.

Paul Reuben was an alumni of the Player’s of Sarasota and of the Asolo Theater.
He was a regular around Sarasota during the late 1970s, as his parents lived
there. Rest In Peace, Pee-Wee.

Rest in peace and Au Revoir, Pee-Wee. Now go and find the basement of the Alamo!

I always hoped he would reprise his role of Max in a Flight Of The Navigator
remake/sequel/reboot (I still love that film). Sady it wasn't to be and the
remake rmours have died down completey.

R.I.P.

Some people have called me Pee-Wee when I lived in Canada.
Didn't get it.
But this made me read and watch about him, and yes, I now feel sad

Thank you John to let us know - people's death is part of people's life.

I just hate it when people I follow and am fond of die. Makes my mortality come
to mind. I have five comedians that I credit with my sense of humor. The first
was Shelly Berman. I had all his records when I was young. He died in 2017.
The other three are Rowan Atkinson, Chris Peterson who I met once, and Andy
Kaufman, also deceased.

I liked his Saturday morning kid's show "peewee's playhouse".
It made me laugh.

I believe you are. Sorry to hear it, John. From your posts over the years, it
was clear how much you admired the man, and appreciated the talent.

He had a fairly long and apparently full life. Let's hope he also experience
his share of joy in his 71 years. On a cold and heartless note: your collectibles
should now further appreciation in value. In other words, cuddle with the one
doll my friend, but keep the other in it’s original packaging
