Good Bye Bob, Thanks for the laughs we'll miss you! But you'll live on in reruns forever. LOS ANGELES (AP) Bob Denver, the bumbling namesake of "Gilligan's Island" who embarked on what was supposed to be a three-hour tour and endeared himself to generations of TV fans, has died at age 70. He died Friday at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina of complications from treatment he was receiving for cancer, his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Denver, who for the last several years had lived in Princeton, W.Va., also underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year. His wife, Dreama, and his children Patrick, Megan, Emily and Colin were with him when he died. "He was my everything and I will love him forever," Dreama Denver said. |

Godspeed unto heaven and may god find you comedy as funny as I did. Hopeful it'll put him in such a good mood that he'll send the whole world some peace. |

Rest in peace Bob Denver. You brought to life what became one of the classic and legendary characters on television and your portrayal of Gilligan always made me laugh. You'll be missed. To truly explore, one must keep an open mind... |

Maynard G. Krebs was cool. So was Gilligan. The same goes double for Bob Denver. He was one funny guy. |
