We lost another great one last night. Bob Hope died last night with his family by his bedside. He had just celebrated his 100th birthday not too long ago.
Hope is recognized as the most honored entertainer in history by having received over 2000 awards. Those included the Congressional Medal of Honor and an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth.
He is best known for entertaining our overseas troops, from World War II to the first Gulf War. He was one of my favorite “old-school” comedians. He had an amazing sense of timing that always made his jokes ten times funnier.
He will be missed by many people.
