	Bedford Forrest Management John Schultz	I had met him a few years ago when I went to see his one man show "Save It For the Stage" in Beverly Hills and me and my friend went backstage to meet with him, and I found him a charming man. Funny and cynical in the best way! He said I reminded him of John Ritter (I get that a lot) and said I should do whatever I should do to be happy; advice I take with me to this day. He autographed my program which I still have to this day. I met him again a few months later at a taping of Hollywood Squares and he remembered me and we shared a few laughs backstage again. I am a HUGE fan of Match Game and watch it every day in my office of GSN. He will be missed.   Posted by Bedford Forrest Management on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 7:19 PM [Reply to this]

	Joseph Joseph Dickerson	Thank you for all you've done for CNR - I never met him, but I definitely got the impression he was a good, funny and above all kind man. Thanks for making his last days on earth be filled with work and letting him know he was appreciated and loved.   Posted by Joseph on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 7:54 PM [Reply to this]

	Toby Germano	I'm in deep depression....Totally loved the man. Thank goodness I was able to see his show in San Francisco a few years ago. Nothing can replace all of the laughs CNR gave me when I was a sick child home from school in the early 70's. My deepest sympathy goes out to Patrick.

	Laura	I joined MySpace just so I could view Charles' page, and write to him. To those of you who maintained this site and delivered the notes and letters (of which mine was one), thank you so much. I still have the prop paper bag (the Hal Holbrook one, for those of you who saw the show) that Charles gave me one night at his show in 2001. I will always treasure it as it serves as my reminder to do what I love. I knew he had been failing and was dreading this day, but am so thankful that we have so many video remembrances of him. I have been glued to the internet, reading all of the tributes and condolences. I feel that I have lost a dear uncle or grandfather, and I know many, many others feel that way, too.   Posted by Laura on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 11:25 PM [Reply to this]

	××αℓεX™	Aw.. Nicely written. I am honored to have been a friend (even if it was only online) of the legendary Charles Nelson Reilly. It feels historical being on such a great man's page. And to know he may have gotten a comment from me... it feels amazing. I was really hoping to write him someday, but it is too late... but I will take this profile and remember it forever. I am so glad he had a way to communicate with his fans like this. I'm, myself, fourteen, and I totally appreciate everything Mr. Reilly has done. He brings such a smile to my face... Especially on Match Game with his bickering with Brett! Classic... Just classic... I love him so very much, and he will always be in my heart to stay. I wish there was someway to just say something to his family... I don't know... Just a few words of love, comfort, and appreciation. --WE LOVE YOU, MR. REILLY, AND WE ALWAYS WILL--   Posted by ××αℓεX™ on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 11:59 PM [Reply to this]

	Alex	After seeing Life of Reilly recently, I had such a different respect for Mr Reilly. I was always a fan - but felt much more deeply about the man after seeing the film. I feel a heartfelt loss at his passing, as opposed to the normal "awww, that so sad" reaction one has when a beloved celebrity dies. I hope he knew how much his story affected people. My sincerest condolences to Mr Hughs. "Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense" is one of the best episodes of Millenium! Good recommendation for a lovely way to remember CNR.   Posted by Alex on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 1:31 AM [Reply to this]

	Nick	RIP Chuck.... It was a pleasure working with you on Save it for the Stage the staged version. Cheers my friend.   Posted by Nick on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 1:41 AM [Reply to this]

	Ed	Thank you for putting together this page foe Charles. He was one of my favorite comedians, and let's face it...he was just funny as hell! I'm old enough to remember his appearances on the' Dean Martin show', the episodes of' the Ghost and Mrs. Muir', and of course, his time on' Match Game'. There were also Saturday mornings with him in 'Lidsville', a show I'm sure many have forgotten. But it way that maniacal laugh of his that rings in my ears. He will always remain in my heart, and I thank him for all of the memories and laughter that he gave me. Rest in Peace dear friend...and thank you!

	The Kevinator Kevin Deevey	Dear BAP, Patrick, and CNR's many, many friends: I have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, watching CNR. One thing about having a showbusiness career, especially one as prolific as his, is that it is basically forever, not just the memories, but whatever was committed to permanent media. This, I hope, is a comforting thought for all of us. I was delighted to be included in the group, even though as a MySpace friend, for I have been a fan of his since his GHOST & MRS. MUIR days when he played Claymore Gregg. My parents, God rest their souls, and I always got a kick out of CNR's visits to THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, since we never knew what he was going to do, and I don't think he knew, either...LOL! We could always count on him being his naturally funny self, whatever he did...then he could take a basically serious actress like Julie Harris (also from my old neck of the woods, Michigan), direct her with sensitivity in various Broadway shows, and stand everyone on their collective ears. You'll be missed, Charles. God bless you, rest you, and keep you. 23rd Psalm. --Sincerely, KEVIN   Posted by The Kevinator on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 2:35 AM [Reply to this]

	Wren	This man made a difference by bringing laughter to millions of people. No one can ask more when they leave this world than to know that they had an effect on people's lives. Some of the fondest memories from my youth are sitting on my grandmother's couch and watching Matchgame with Charles. Rest in peace.   Posted by Wren on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 4:15 AM [Reply to this]

	Eddie Mac	Thank you for allowing me to rediscover Charles. It was truly enjoyable. I'm sure your work with Charles gave his last days the feelings of a life,and career, that was appreciated. Bon voyage mes ami.   Posted by Eddie Mac on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 4:53 AM [Reply to this]

	PZiggy	Wonderful blog. I never got to share a Manhattan with Charles, which is my favorite drink, so my friends got together tonight had Manhattans the way you like them and watch many of your programs. A new friend hadn't ever seen "Match Game" We showed her and she loved it and Charles. Thanks for the many, many, laughs and entertainment. God Bless.   Posted by PZiggy on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 5:02 AM [Reply to this]

	SCOTT MORALES Scott Morales	In the 'copycat' world of show business...Charles was an exotic original. I loved him so much...when people enter my living room the first thing they see is an autographed photo and a note that he wrote to me back in 1992. He was so quick witted, so brilliant that he never ever needed to sink to a low-level comedy of vulgar or insults. This man was an American treasure. Many times, a young person would come into my home and see that autographed photo and note and say 'who is that?' - I would 'turn them on to him' and they would become a new fan....his appeal spanned decades of changing entertainment and bridged generation gaps. But describing Charles was always an exercise in futility, he had to be seen to be believed. A charm, a class, a dignity, a comedic genius, a warm soul, a pioneer, a 'liberator' before it had a name, a brave exhuberance of self expression at a time when doing so was done at great risk to his career...but today, he is happily beyond the reach of prosaic analysis... but this gift he gave us...how do we thank him? How do you thank someone for a million laughs? Perhaps the best way, is to continue to share his work with people, share his story and support his upcoming movie and keep the laughter going....Charles would want that and we owe him...I'll miss you Charles, you were a dear sweet soul, a kind and gentle spirit that made the world a happier place, I love you so much...I love you so much.

Thanks for the years of entertainment--I loved loved loved "The Life of Reilly" when I saw it in NYC and I'm so glad there'll be a movie to make that part of your career live on! And thanks to all of you who worked with Charles for keeping him alive for us. --Kathleen   Posted by World of Style Vintage on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 4:40 PM [Reply to this]

	TSN 2.0	I was saddened to learn of Charles's passing. He was much a part of my youth from the Sid and Marty Krofft shows to Match Game. I was thrilled when i found out he had a Myspace page, and i'm happy to hear that he enjoyed hearing from his admirers on this page. I'll be looking forward to the release of Life of Reilly.   Posted by TSN 2.0 on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 5:24 PM [Reply to this]

	Geri Lynn	With deepest sympathy - Words cannot express what a terrible loss this is to the fans. Thankfully, he will live on in syndication - thanks to the Game show network.

	Joe aka Krayz Joe Rider	Good bye, Charles! From the Saturday morning shows I grew up watching you on. To the afternoon Match Game PM's I had to get home to watch. To the joy of seeing you pop up unexpectedly on a TV show (a WKRP in Cinncinatti comes to mind). To the thrill of seeing you on X-files (I was watching to see our future Gov, Jesse Ventura, when I jumped out of my seat yelling IT'S HIM! IT'S HIM!! My wife, thinking I was yelling about Jesse couldn't figure out why I was so excited: CNR was on!!!)... To a vague, yet fond, memory I have of being entertained in 2nd grade class by CNR (It was the early 1970's. Did it really happen? Did he go to schools and perform? I wish I had the chalk board he wrote his name on!).   Posted by Joe aka Krayz on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 2:57 PM [Reply to this]
