If John Candy doesn't make you laugh, there is something wrong with you. If you don't tear up thinking about the fact that he's gone, you're not human. What a wonderful person John was. So glad I was able to meet him.
saw him drivin a big lincoln back in the 80's in Hollywood pulled next to him at stop sign ... waved and smiled ... he waved and smiled back .. sweet man for sure
Dude. Come on. Fuck the Blahscars.™ Seriously. They're industry trade awards. Nothing more. John Candy's going to be remembered for as long as movies are-you think Monique or whoever who won an Oscar™ back in 2005 are gonna be? Because they won themselves a shiny piece of shit? Nah. Oscars™ are a joke. I think more and more people are starting to understand just how meaningless and cold the whole enterprise is. Ratings are WAY down. Good riddance. •b
Unfortunately, comedies aren't treated the same way as others. If I'm wrong, only one comedy won Oscars in the last four decades. As a matter of fact, comedies include some drama. And even without that, best comedies deserve more credit. But who cares? Viewers give credit anyway very credit is due. Like the case with John Candy.
That was such a funny movie. I'll never forget the scene where he's driving, begins to remove his coat, only to get tied up by it unable to steer the car. hahaha! I was literally rolling in the floor laughing at that.
What is Canada now? I hope you mean that in a positive nostalgic sense. And that your not bringing in a racist remark on a memorial video... Rip Polka man.
The death of John Candy upset me more than the death of any other celebrity. I kept thinking what a tragic early loss. So many wonderful moments that would have happened lost.
+Salobrena Smith you were 34 years old when you were sitting in your office and you heard about the the sad news that John candy had passed away on March the 4th 1994
John Candy was the type of person most normal people would want to have as a family member you always want to be around, that's at least my feeling about that man. John Candy was a loveable character. John Candy was so loveable a person that I will miss him forever.
He made every film he was in a treat to watch. He really had a natural presence that jumped off the screen. He'll always be one of my favourite comedy actors.
Did you know the California police shut down the 405 freeway entrances for his funeral procession. They only shut down freeways for presidents. Thats how loved he was.
I'll always love John Candy because he reminds me of my father who would have been 75 today had he lived passed 64. My Dad loved him and I have so many great memories of watching John Candy films with my Dad. So, in honor of my father, who I lost to cancer, I wanted to watch something on John Candy today. Excellent tribute. Thank you so much for posting. I hope my Dad got to meet him in Heaven. 🌹
2020 and I'm still bummed out that he's gone. I was only 7 (almost 8) when he died and I only knew him from the end of home alone. It was in the years after he died that I became familiar with many of his other movies and only fairly recently did I decide to look into him as a person and that's when his death really hit me, 25 years after the fact. What an awesome person he was from anything and everything I can find about him. The world needs a little more John Candy in it.
I felt exactly the same. Born in 1987 and saw most of his movies after he died but hadn't known because of how young I was and when I found out it really affected me as he has such a magnificently warm and fun energy about him. It's also especially sad given how young he was of course.
He’s one of the few men who could actually make my old man cry with laughter. The first time we watched Planes Trains and Automobiles together was a memory I’ll never forget. Just a perfect comedy. Perfect. It had that hint of pathos in the ending when you find out Dels wife was dead. Very touching and that was down to John Candy’s performance. They don’t make films like that anymore.
John was a beautiful kind sweet teddy bear who made me laugh at everything he did. Could you imagine what he would be doing today for movies and films. The song is so true Only The Good Die Young.. So many great people who ment alot to us. There was just something so special about John and I still to this day miss him dearly. If I could party with two people that have passed on they would be John candy cause he would make me laugh and Janis Joplin cause I would have grate music and a good drink. Hope you are resting in peace
He’s the only actor I’ve ever cried for when I heard he died. Loved every single one of his movies. I’d say bad or good but we all know they were all good with him in em. Even if it was a bit part I watched every single one. Loved watching that man.
Nate Bolton That's a bit much and I'm sure John would agree. There were, are and will be lots of great people like him. That's the beautiful thing about great people like Candy, he reaffirms our belief in humanity.
Been trying for years to put his films into order of which is my favourite one first, and every time I think I've got it right I change my mind, truth is I will never be able to do it I love them all, my wife and I have John Candy Days where we watch them one after the other and we never get sick of doing it, miss you John
43, man. I miss John Candy a lot, but seeing him remembered and appreciated, still, is great to see. He deserves to be remembered, fondly. Rest in Peace John.
Many times in a year myself or someone around me will say, "boy, I sure miss John Candy" and we watch his movies over and over.....as do my children and grandkids. Three generations. RIP John. Gone too soon but glad you didn't suffer.
He was there for me in a time of life where it was hard for me. I was just a kid and in a family that was not a family at all. Violence and alcohol was the norm but every time I would see him I truly felt he was there for me. RIP big man!
I'm a big fan of John candy I miss him :( when I first seen planes trains and automobiles I said wow what a great actor John was in it as he had me hooked it's just John when he made movies he had so much love like you felt he was a big part of your family regardless if you knew him or not that's the why I felt that John made the world apart of his family forever r.i.p to a great actor
I just recently learned this guy was the inspiration for Bing Bong from Inside Out. And yeah I can totally see it now. This man truly was a wonderful human being.
I Love John's movies, esp the COOL RUNNINGS, and UNCLE BUCK. He is really good and have the best talent to make Joy in that industry and to the whole world. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 JOHN CANDY. From Philippines: Raymund Miguel.
I am 17 years old and most people I talk to have no idea who john candy is. John Candy was the funniest actor/comedian I grew up with. I have seen most of his movies and I have nothing bad to say about any of them. You never have to many actors like john anymore. They all have big heads and are dicks to all of there fans. But... John Candy was not like that he was a person that even when he was down and sad he would still try to make others happy no matter what. That is what makes a true actor and John Candy was that true actor, and always will be. John, even though I was not born when all of your movies came out I still found out about them and it is by far the best thing I ever discovered. I watched planes, trains, and automobiles the other day and I cried I could not help it. RIP John you will always be missed, and when I am down and sad, you are the person that I need to see to make the day better. Love you John always :)
It's better than that movie. He was known as a comedian but I think he shined best as a dramatic actor. He would've won an academy award one day for best actor in a drama film in my opinion no doubt about it.
I loved john saw SCTV & I LOVED the funny rolls & bits he did I wrote him told him I loved uncle Buck & planes trains & automobiles was my favorite movie's I was surprised when in the mail in Chicago I got an 8.X10 SIGNED JOHN FRANKLIN CANDY I MISS HIM EVERY THANKSGIVING I PLAY PLANES TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES I DEARLY LOVE THAT MOVIE & UNCLE BUCK THE GREAT OUTDOORS & SEVERAL OTHER'S TRULY A GREAT LOSS BUT THANK GOD HE MADE US ALL LAUGH THANK YOU JOHN THAT AUTOGRAPH PICTURE YOU SENT ME IS MY PRIZED TREASURE HOPE TO SEE YOU ONE DAY IN GOD'S HOUSE & KINGDOM ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He was awesome and will be deeply missed.. thanks for all the amazing moments and screen and for touching millions of all over the world.... Rest in everlasting peace..
Anytime he appeared on screen, in a supporting or cameo type role…you immediately had to become engaged. Just always came off as authentic and genuine.
i was in the school library when i heard he died. when a friend of mine came up too me and said "hey, did you here that john candy died?" i was like "no" i remember feeling sad when he died, he was so good, i loved all those movies he was in. r.i.p john candy, the movies hasn't been as good, or as funny since you died the world is become a poorer place since the world lost you, i don't know about anyone else, but movies don't make me laugh as much today, as when i saw you, they're just trying to be funny, sometimes it works, and i laugh, but i don't except to laugh during a comedy film anymore. the the only thing i enjoy about a comedy film is it made me laugh. r.i.p john candy 1950-1994
I was 13 and I hated it so much that John candy passed away. He had so much more to do and I absolutely know for a fact that he would've received an academy award for best actor for a drama film one day. He was known as a funny man but in my opinion his best work was as a dramatic actor. He makes me cry still to this day in trains planes and automobiles. Rip John candy. I was born in 1980 and you ruled that decade on my television. Volunteers, National Lampoon's family vacation,splash,sctv,Summer rental,uncle buck,the great outdoors,trains planes and automobiles,camp candy,only the lonely, who's Harry crumb,armed and dangerous,and so much more. I absolutely loved John candy.its a shame he is no longer here.....
Tell you a true John Candy Story. No BS here. There was a priest at Neil McNeil who was the Guidance Counselor. He was a mean man, truly a mean man and he somehow took it upon himself to burst as many bubbles as he could. No matter what you wanted to be, he told you why you couldnt make it. I remember him for what he said to me. 5 years after I graduated there was a 25th anniversary of the school and a dinner. John Candy a famous grad 5 years ahead of me (I never met him) was the 'featured guest", so I bought a ticket. I go to it and Candy is up at the head table. The aftorementioned priest Fr. Fleming who was now Principal was there as well. John is introduced by Fleming and sits down. It was well known that Fleming told John that he would be nothing but a factory worker after being a failed lineman. John somehow rigged it that he would hit him with coconut cream pie. I can still hear that "whack" when John hit him in the face (really hard) with the pie. He was asked to make a donation to the school and he never did. True story and the only time i saw John. Both men are deceased now.
I often think of John Candy since his passing in March 1994. It was a great shock to me to have lost such a comedic genius at such a young age. I often watch his movies as a means of paying tribute to such a wonderful man. His legacy is larger than life and his time on earth provided such a wealth of merriment to many. I was told by someone who actually met John in a bar in Scarborough that he was truly a down-to-earth kind of guy. The real McCoy! Although he has been gone from this world for so many years, he still stirs up a lot of very strong emotions in me... I thank John for the laughs and happiness he brought to my life. I will be forever grateful to him and always remember him as a comic legend!
I remember mourning over John Candy's death in 1994, and I still mourn when I think of him. The world lost an incredible person and an incredible actor. He was one of a kind and nobody can ever replace him. I still wish he was around and still making movies. :( RIP Mr. John Candy
Just imagine what movies he would star in now. Or tv shows. If only he was around. Side note the rescuers down under. Is another one. A real long lasting impression that is for sure 💛💙💜💚❤💓💖💗👼😩😫😞😭😢
I miss him I met him a couple of times in Toronto. He had a heart of gold. Imagine what he would be doing today for movies and comedy. In a big selfish way I am pissed a God I pray to him always and for some reason he keeps taking away people who well all love and now God is getting the best show ever he has everyone who made us dance sing laugh and even teary eye's kinda movie. The song is so true only the good die young. May John candy and everyone who has passed on rest in peace. They might not be here in the flesh but they all will live on forever on the big screen.
I was 9 years old when John passed. My parents, knowing full well what he meant to me, broke the news to me instead of me hearing it on the radio or the news. I was so heartbroken. John, to this day, remains my favorite actor and one of my favorite people. He is one of four celebrities whose passing shook me, the other three are Chris Farley, Robin Williams, and Alan Rickman. All four of these men had such big meaning in my life and brought me joy. I will miss them forever. Thank you, John, for all your love and for the years of laughter you brought to us.
He was a lovely guy. I fondly remember watching his movies during childhood and being quite sad when he passed in 94. My grandmother took me aside to tell me as she knew I was mad about him.
It seems to me that John Candy was everyones friend, whether it was in a movie or real life. When we pass from this life we should ask ourselves, will we be remembered and if we are will it be with a smile. John Candy has both.
Every movie John Candy was in was PURE GOLD!!! He was a legend and his time should have been longer. You know what they say: THE GOOD DIE YOUNG! And to me, John Candy was Forever Young! He had a positivity that I wish more people had! R.I.P. John Candy You are definitely missed and Loved!
I have lots of memories of when rock stars and actors died, like Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, but few deaths have affected me like John Candy's. He was, I think, what everyone said and more. He was a brilliant, sensitive, incredibly talented man whose body of work is one of consistency and one of the funniest ever, whether on the small or big screen. I've missed him since the day I he died and I never met him. I wish I did.
It's hard to believe next year will be 25 years. Even though we miss him we can take solace in the fact that everyone that speaks about him, still to this day, say he was exactly who you hoped he was and wanted him to be. In a world where our heroes rarely live up to the lofty standards we set for them John Candy exceeded every expectation we could have possibly had.

saw him drivin a big lincoln back in the 80's in Hollywood pulled next to him at stop sign ... waved and smiled ... he waved and smiled back .. sweet man for sure
he should have won an Oscar for planes trains and automobiles. fantastic performance. sorely missed. what a guy.

Definitely. He was a GREAT actor.
And for cool runnings
The Canada in which Candy grew up, as did I, is Gone forever.
Candy was terrific.
What is Canada now? I hope you mean that in a positive nostalgic sense.
And that your not bringing in a racist remark on a memorial video...
Rip Polka man.
72vince27 Why would it be racist?
@@72vince27 why u bringing race into it? - it didn't even cross my mind that he meant that. Wind your neck in man
You've certainly got that right
The world itself has gone down the gutter.
I think he said it best himself: (He was) the real deal, the genuine article.
+Michael Moriarty whatcha see is whatcha get. IE: Perfection.
He totally stole that from Family Guy:(:(:(.......jk
family guy stole it from planes, trains and automobiles!
He likes him. And his wife likes him
The death of John Candy upset me more than the death of any other celebrity. I kept thinking what a tragic early loss. So many wonderful moments that would have happened lost.
+Salobrena Smith why do you remember John candy on the 4th day of March of every year
+Salobrena Smith how old were you when you heard about John candys passing
+Salobrena Smith you were 34 years old when you were sitting in your office and you heard about the the sad news that John candy had passed away on March the 4th 1994
+Salobrena Smith oh my god I'm so sorry to hear that John candy is dead
He was and still is the best in almost every way. His entertainment, name, and good deeds will always be remembered. His name will live on.
John Candy was the type of person most normal people would want to have as a family member you always want to be around, that's at least my feeling about that man. John Candy was a loveable character. John Candy was so loveable a person that I will miss him forever.
He made every film he was in a treat to watch. He really had a natural presence that jumped off the screen. He'll always be one of my favourite comedy actors.
His short role in JFK really showed the depth he could've dived into in future movies. He blew me away in that.
Perfect performance. The sweaty upper lip with the cigarette. The accent. Everything.
Yes, he was wonderful in that role.
Did you know the California police shut down the 405 freeway entrances for his funeral procession. They only shut down freeways for presidents. Thats how loved he was.
43 years old...
So sad.
What a terrible loss to humanity.
May you rest in peace John..
I'll always love John Candy because he reminds me of my father who would have been 75 today had he lived passed 64. My Dad loved him and I have so many great memories of watching John Candy films with my Dad. So, in honor of my father, who I lost to cancer, I wanted to watch something on John Candy today.

Legendary Comedian and an absolute treasure. Even now in 2020 I still miss him ❤️
John candy was a real G and a really nice man i met him once in LA.
Yea, I believe a dipshit with your profile name. Degenerate.
Just watched uncle buck. I miss John so much he was the one actor who could put a smile on my face at any time.😀
2020 and I'm still bummed out that he's gone. I was only 7 (almost 8) when he died and I only knew him from the end of home alone. It was in the years after he died that I became familiar with many of his other movies and only fairly recently did I decide to look into him as a person and that's when his death really hit me, 25 years after the fact.

I recently bought a autograph picture of him waiting to get it framed,was my favorite actor as a young man,I was bummed as well when he passed away...
He’s one of the few men who could actually make my old man cry with laughter. The first time we watched Planes Trains and Automobiles together was a memory I’ll never forget.
Just a perfect comedy. Perfect. It had that hint of pathos in the ending when you find out Dels wife was dead. Very touching and that was down to John Candy’s performance. They don’t make films like that anymore.
'Everybody loved John'.....well said!
What a great way to celebrate and honor his life, that was wonderful!
John was a beautiful kind sweet teddy bear who made me laugh at everything he did. Could you imagine what he would be doing today for movies and films. The song is so true Only The Good Die Young.. So many great people who ment alot to us. There was just something so special about John and I still to this day miss him dearly. If I could party with two people that have passed on they would be John candy cause he would make me laugh and Janis Joplin cause I would have grate music and a good drink. Hope you are resting in peace
He’s the only actor I’ve ever cried for when I heard he died. Loved every single one of his movies. I’d say bad or good but we all know they were all good with him in em. Even if it was a bit part I watched every single one. Loved watching that man.
Uncle buck and planes, trains and automobiles will always make me laugh forever. Years on john you are still missed. RIP
RIP John Candy you made me laugh after my parents divorced and as a child that meant a lot Thank you
There will never be another guy like him. God broke the mold when he made John Candy.
Nate Bolton That's a bit much and I'm sure John would agree. There were, are and will be lots of great people like him.
That's the beautiful thing about great people like Candy, he reaffirms our belief in humanity.
Faith, I mean.
Aaron Smith That hurt, coming from you.
Rob Robberson no it's coming from your mommy bitchhh
Rob Robberson ohhh 😲 nice try your mommy wasn't saying that last night bitchhhhh
Beautiful words from so many!
Such a beautiful soul.
He was just perfect in the movie "Only the Lonely". He is missed.
Been trying for years to put his films into order of which is my favourite one first, and every time I think I've got it right I change my mind, truth is I will never be able to do it I love them all, my wife and I have John Candy Days where we watch them one after the other and we never get sick of doing it, miss you John
John was a hero made me laugh and smile even when times were tough I could always put in one of films and have a good time.
43, man. I miss John Candy a lot, but seeing him remembered and appreciated, still, is great to see. He deserves to be remembered, fondly. Rest in Peace John.
I love watching John Candy. He has a certain "thing" about him that makes you want him for a best friend. So sad he died so early in life.
Sincerity. He was a real nice, good person and it showed in his attitude and demeanor.
what a great guy, miss him
This brought tears to my eyes...you are missed, John
Damn I miss John Candy. So many of today’s youth missed growing up with 80’s movies that are the foundation of humor. RIP
Many times in a year myself or someone around me will say, "boy, I sure miss John Candy" and we watch his movies over and over.....as do my children and grandkids. Three generations. RIP John. Gone too soon but glad you didn't suffer.
from Jonny la rue to tom Tuttle from Tacoma I still laugh every time .
This was wonderful...Thank you
Only one person can make me constantly laugh, smile, and cry in the same hour.
He will be missed by many.
Can't believe that it''s been 24 years just about. He's still missed.
John Candy and Robin Williams were the two celebrities/comedians made me cry of their passing. Both were funny guys with big hearts
Everyone loves John because he was a kind, good hearted, charitable man. (and talented at his craft)
One of Canada's very best for sure.
He was there for me in a time of life where it was hard for me. I was just a kid and in a family that was not a family at all. Violence and alcohol was the norm but every time I would see him I truly felt he was there for me. RIP big man!
I can relate
I watch these clips, and, tributes to John ,and, still can't believe he has been gone so long, I guess I just miss him.. Doc Mike USN
forever loved, forever missed
I'm a big fan of John candy I miss him :( when I first seen planes trains and automobiles I said wow what a great actor John was in it as he had me hooked it's just John when he made movies he had so much love like you felt he was a big part of your family regardless if you knew him or not that's the why I felt that John made the world apart of his family forever r.i.p to a great actor
I just recently learned this guy was the inspiration for Bing Bong from Inside Out. And yeah I can totally see it now. This man truly was a wonderful human being.
Never knew that John Candy was so popular . RIP !
this guy should have lived143, God!! we miss you Mr.Candy.
I Love John's movies, esp the COOL RUNNINGS, and UNCLE BUCK. He is really good and have the best talent to make Joy in that industry and to the whole world. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 JOHN CANDY. From Philippines: Raymund Miguel.

Gaming Channel you ment grew up watching his movies not grew up with when he passed away in 1994!!!!
I'll never forget John Candy.
A gentle giant that spread kindness and happiness to all he met with a humble attitude, if only more people were like him. Sorely missed...
Planes trains and automobiles is every bit as good as it's a wonderful life in my book.
xtruguy absolutely
It's better than that movie. He was known as a comedian but I think he shined best as a dramatic actor. He would've won an academy award one day for best actor in a drama film in my opinion no doubt about it.
xtruguy I agree! 2 of my all time favorite films.
I loved uncle buck. It is an underrated sweet movie.
John was naturally likable, the opposite of Tom Hanks, who's a pretentious, stuffy, wordy putz.
Tom Hanks is a sinisterly weird guy Look into it, don't just believe me.
Most of the time celebrities babble on with the bullshit talking about someone after passing but this time I think they truly meant what they said.
I was at work when I heard that John Candy had died. I cried like a baby.
One of the biggest canadian comedian that we ever have
I loved john saw SCTV & I LOVED the funny rolls & bits he did I wrote him told him I loved uncle Buck & planes trains & automobiles was my favorite movie's I was surprised when in the mail in Chicago I got an 8.X10 SIGNED JOHN FRANKLIN CANDY I MISS HIM EVERY THANKSGIVING I PLAY PLANES TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES I DEARLY LOVE THAT MOVIE & UNCLE BUCK THE GREAT OUTDOORS & SEVERAL OTHER'S TRULY A GREAT LOSS BUT THANK GOD HE MADE US ALL LAUGH THANK YOU JOHN THAT AUTOGRAPH PICTURE YOU SENT ME IS MY PRIZED TREASURE HOPE TO SEE YOU ONE DAY IN GOD'S HOUSE & KINGDOM ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I cried over John Candy's death. I adored him.
i was in the school library when i heard he died. when a friend of mine came up too me and said "hey, did you here that john candy died?" i was like "no" i remember feeling sad when he died, he was so good, i loved all those movies he was in. r.i.p john candy, the movies hasn't been as good, or as funny since you died
the world is become a poorer place since the world lost you, i don't know about anyone else, but movies don't make me laugh as much today, as when i saw you, they're just trying to be funny, sometimes it works, and i laugh, but i don't except to laugh during a comedy film anymore. the the only thing i enjoy about a comedy film is it made me laugh.
r.i.p

John, I love you, I miss you!
Me too but I was born in 2000

He was a great comedian and a fine actor, but most important he was a kind human being.

Good for John! I know you must have felt vindicated too.
I often think of John Candy since his passing in March 1994. It was a great shock to me to have lost such a comedic genius at such a young age. I often watch his movies as a means of paying tribute to such a wonderful man. His legacy is larger than life and his time on earth provided such a wealth of merriment to many. I was told by someone who actually met John in a bar in Scarborough that he was truly a down-to-earth kind of guy. The real McCoy! Although he has been gone from this world for so many years, he still stirs up a lot of very strong emotions in me... I thank John for the laughs and happiness he brought to my life. I will be forever grateful to him and always remember him as a comic legend!
I remember mourning over John Candy's death in 1994, and I still mourn when I think of him. The world lost an incredible person and an incredible actor. He was one of a kind and nobody can ever replace him. I still wish he was around and still making movies. :( RIP Mr. John Candy
+John J you know he passed on one year before I was born but I simply cant picture him as dead nor can I accept it.
Great man, miss him. R.I.P. Mr. Candy.
I love John Candy. We all love John Candy. There is no greater achievement in life.
this guy should have lived143, God!! we miss you Mr.Candy.
Many many many many many many thanks for posting
Just imagine what movies he would star in now. Or tv shows. If only he was around. Side note the rescuers down under. Is another one. A real long lasting impression that is for sure 💛💙💜💚❤💓💖💗👼😩😫😞😭😢
I miss him I met him a couple of times in Toronto. He had a heart of gold. Imagine what he would be doing today for movies and comedy. In a big selfish way I am pissed a God I pray to him always and for some reason he keeps taking away people who well all love and now God is getting the best show ever he has everyone who made us dance sing laugh and even teary eye's kinda movie. The song is so true only the good die young. May John candy and everyone who has passed on rest in peace. They might not be here in the flesh but they all will live on forever on the big screen.
Never forget those charachters....Mr. Mambo, Johnny LaRue, Gil Fisher, Billy Sol Hurok...probably leaving somebody out.
John Candy gone but never forgotten...RIP.
Amazing Actor who is missed greatly. Can’t remember the name of the song at 6.30 I know I have heard it before, does anyone know the name?
Mary Margaret O'Hara Never No
This world is sadly diminished without you........
what a great guy
Everyone loved the man. It’s not hard to see why. Greatly missed.
Doing the Mess Around is comedy gold. He is so missed.
John Candy was so funny!I wish he had never left the world,he was to good for it anyway.
I wish I had the chance to meet him, rip john
god bless john candy..a great man ...
Today marks 25 years since he passed away.
I was 9 years old when John passed. My parents, knowing full well what he meant to me, broke the news to me instead of me hearing it on the radio or the news. I was so heartbroken. John, to this day, remains my favorite actor and one of my favorite people. He is one of four celebrities whose passing shook me, the other three are Chris Farley, Robin Williams, and Alan Rickman. All four of these men had such big meaning in my life and brought me joy. I will miss them forever. Thank you, John, for all your love and for the years of laughter you brought to us.
He was a lovely guy. I fondly remember watching his movies during childhood and being quite sad when he passed in 94. My grandmother took me aside to tell me as she knew I was mad about him.
Thank you for posting this video.
I view John Candy as the embodiment of a real Canadian along with Don Cherry
John had the ability to make people laugh or cry in his movies
4:20 - 4:23 "I feel very comfortable with who I am & that's what you see is what you get". - John Candy
Grew up with his movies and i still watch some every year. He will never be forgotten. Greetings from Germany and rest in peace, John.
It seems to me that John Candy was everyones friend, whether it was in a movie or real life. When we pass from this life we should ask ourselves, will we be remembered and if we are will it be with a smile. John Candy has both.
JOHN CANDY WILL ALWAYS BE A HUMAN ICON i felt HAPPINESS just watching him
So hard to believe this great man, great actor has been gone for 25 years. R I P dear John
Every movie John Candy was in was PURE GOLD!!! He was a legend and his time should have been longer. You know what they say: THE GOOD DIE YOUNG! And to me, John Candy was Forever Young! He had a positivity that I wish more people had! R.I.P. John Candy You are definitely missed and Loved!
8:10 I haven't forgotten
I have lots of memories of when rock stars and actors died, like Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, but few deaths have affected me like John Candy's. He was, I think, what everyone said and more. He was a brilliant, sensitive, incredibly talented man whose body of work is one of consistency and one of the funniest ever, whether on the small or big screen. I've missed him since the day I he died and I never met him. I wish I did.
It's hard to believe next year will be 25 years. Even though we miss him we can take solace in the fact that everyone that speaks about him, still to this day, say he was exactly who you hoped he was and wanted him to be. In a world where our heroes rarely live up to the lofty standards we set for them John Candy exceeded every expectation we could have possibly had.
