CNN.com - 'Mister Rogers' dies at age 74 - Feb. 27, 2003

"I believe that those of us who are the producers and purveyors of television -- or video games or newspapers or any mass media -- I believe that we are the servants of this nation," Rogers said.

Though I am not of an age that watched Mr. Rogers, my children have, and much like Barney, he was made fun of because of his need to communicate to children on their level. Mr. Rogers, I hope when I get to heaven, God let's me be your neighbor. May God bless your family in this dificult time.
