12. same--I'm in my early 60's and he is someone I feel like, in a way, that I have known for a very long time.

Aside from his acting and hit movies, I have admired his advocacy over the years. His movie, "Ghosts of Mississippi", while not a major hit was still a story worth telling that he took on I will not lie, when I first saw that he had been murdered, my thoughts turned to politics. As it stands, it may be more a family issue. In any event, the loss is terrible. We only lost his father just a few years ago. Something I learned or figured out a few years back was that Carl Reiner's series, "The Dick Van Dyke" was autobiographical. So, at least in some way, I imagine that Rob Petrie's son, Richie, was inspired by Rob Reiner. I will miss this man.
