It's very sad, and a big loss to us for my wife and myself because we were very close to Bob and his wife ever since we first started working together back in 1964.

He baby-sat a nation.

One thing I can say about Bob and the show is he entertained generations, and everybody approached us and him in particular with love and a smile.

There was love in what he did. There was kindness. There was no meanness in him.

It's just too hard to explain. You have nine seconds left on the clock, we know he's (Ryan Johnson) wanting to pass it and then he comes scrambling my way. I knew I had to get him and to come up with the play and hear the horn go off was just unbelievable.

I found him to be a dear, sweet generous, loving man, ... Gilligan's Island.

It's like losing a brother. That's all I can tell you.

A dear, sweet generous, loving man.

Bob was a national treasure as far as I'm concerned.
