He had such a beautiful heart and his recitations were always heartfelt! Today's entertainment no way matches what we once had! His humor was also classic, funny, and clean. I miss him.
Love this man. So naturally funny and Could laugh at himself. What A character what a clown. Remember watching him every night when he was on TV. When TV was actually entertaining. Always ending with may God bless. Respect, well, deserved.
I am almost 65 years old now...a father and grandfather. I told my daughter just recently..."You know....kids born today will not graduate from high school before I die." She looked in my eyes and I could see tears forming. She said ....."I never heard it put that way Dad". Red's poem is oh so true. R.I.P
I am 70 yrs old now and watched Red Skelton with my father every Tuesday night and the Rifleman either before or after Red Skeleton. It was the only night while in elementary school that I was allowed to stay up as late as I had to do I could see those two good programs. It was because of the Christian nature of Red Skeltonthat I was allowed to stay up and see and the Rifleman, a western, had lessons of god bad right and wrong add Lucas brought up Mark. Red Skeleton did not use 4 letter expletives and ended his show with mission and - "God bless" I never forgot those shows. And watch then today, 60 plus years later on cable.
Red Skelton was a great man. When he died we lost a great humanitarian. I'm sure God welcomed him home and it would be nice to learn if his last words were [ as he closed every one of his shows ] "Goodbye for now and may God bless".
What a beautiful human being this man is he mades all laugh and cry with his beautiful storys. He will forever be in our hearts 💕 the clown who made us laugh laugh
I'm a grandfather now. Married into it actually. 59 years younger old depending on who happens to be talking to me at the time. Old enough to know better or supposed to be anyway and yet still feel pretty young and ignorant on many occasion. I know I've gained some wisdom over the years with the things that I've done but I still hope and pray I have a good many years left to do a good many more things that will hopefully leave this world just a little better than it was and I not walked this path that I am on. I pray every day for God's protection and for the protection of my loved ones and of all of his creation from the tiniest to the largest we're truly the most innocent. I thank God everyday that he has protected me and kept me from the hazards that seriously jeopardize one's life at least thus far. He is granted me patience when I should have had it from the years I have lived and forgiven me but I've had little or none that really came from moments that meant nothing in the scheme of things. I thank God that I am getting older because the alternative is something that I'm not ready to fully contemplate nor sure I will ever be even on the day when I know I'm going home to be with loved ones for eternity the most importantly to be with my Lord. This poem should make every grandparent proud and feel at least a little honor and blessed to have been allowed this great privilege. May God bless all of you children, parents, grandparents and getting into the elder years the great-grandparents and the great great-grandparents that some are privileged to be. May you feel the Lord's face shining upon you each and every day even in the darkest of moments where your heart is breaking and you do not know how you can stand the pain. That is one Lord willing if you are young or younger than a grandparent let's say, that is a time that I hope a grandparent whether they are biological or not, can place their hand on your shoulder or put their arms around you so you can feel their wives and warm and brace taking away the pain. That is what grandparents are for for they have experienced much in love, gain and loss. Again, may the Lord shine his face upon all of you and may you all live to be grandparents and even more and enjoy the blessing of such.
BTW, I have not a strong faith. In fact I have serious doubts as to whether or not a divine being will be there to greet us on the other side, but it gives me hope to expect that if it is there, that I could be with Red till the end of time.
Oh, there is eternal life. We have God’s Word on it. However, it’s Heaven or Hell, so please believe the Good News - Gospel, that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, turn from your sins and then turn to Jesus Christ as Lord. That’s the narrow and ONLY road. Read it yourself - book of John.
My word! Who is this man I have never heard Red Skelton speak that way before. Did you hear the Pledge of Allegiance in the video before this one. My my we babyboomers need to get busy. Stop the griping or better yet put it to some positive use
I haven't seen my grand children since 2018. One I haven't even met yet. The daughter in law when she doesn't want the kids to know you. My only hope is that THIS will happen to them - the son and daughter in law.
This makes me wonder. I am 70 now 1 grandmother passed just before I was born 😢. The other shortly after 😢. So what is a grandmother. Only I of my grandfathers was around for us kids. But sure as heck made up for the others. Can remember many a weekend sleeping over. He loved Gunsmoke and the Honeymooners. That was back in the day of black & white TV.

It is astounding at the level of wisdom possessed by this great, great man, whose memory will be with many of us till the end of our days...
This man Red Skelton would touch my heart when I was a little boy. When he would say God bless & Good night.
Kimberly Aguirre GOD BLESS AND GOOD NIGHT. I REMEMBER THIS TO.

Red Skelton was a great man. When he died we lost a great humanitarian. I'm sure God welcomed him home and it would be nice to learn if his last words were [ as he closed every one of his shows ] "Goodbye for now and may God bless".
Loved this man. What a good decent man
When Red Skelton died we lost a great man. There will never be another great comedian and humanitarian as Red Skeleton.
Thank you for doing this, he was truly a great man , he was a Mason and a Shriner .

During world War two he served during the day but he also entertained the men at night . Very sincerely great patriotic compassionate man .

Or, as Charlie Chan put it, "Sixty summers young; sixty winters old."
God Bless him. He was truly the best of the best
Thank you Mr. Skelton
This man know more about life then most of today's population will ever understand!
I love this and had not heard it before. Love Red Skeleton also.
excellent RED, as always...
he sure had the words to tell how life was.
BTW, I have not a strong faith. In fact I have serious doubts as to whether or not a divine being will be there to greet us on the other side, but it gives me hope to expect that if it is there, that I could be with Red till the end of time.

Sometimes hope is more important.
