I heard this. What a shock.

He had a good life, and brought us all some good laughs. He'll be missed.

My sentiments go out to his wife and children.

I am stunned. Lots of famous people kicking the bucket. And he was so young!

Seriously! The guy was only like 54 years old. I guess they found something wrong with his aorta, undetectable before he died. Scary.
 
I didn't like his last show at all, for me was very corny except for the blond girl.

But it is a big pity to loose him, even here in Venezuela every body know at list his face, we are very familiarize with his works specially with "3 is company".

He was a very friendly face on tv, allways fresh. We are gonna miss him.

We are loosing a lot of talent lately:

Celia Cruz
Barry White
Tito Puente
who else?

Looks like there is a big casting going on on heaven.
 
May John Ritter rest in peace. My prayers go out to his family and friends. I remember "Three's Company" fondly. His age of 54 really brings it close to home for me! :(
 
He seemed like such a nice guy, too. Such a shock. I watched the new show a couple of times when there was nothing else on. Like he said, he wasn't trying to do Hamlet, he just wanted to be funny and make people laugh.

I just saw an interview with him the other day. He seemed fine, full of life. Excited about the new season.

Just a few days away from his 55th b-day.
 
He'll be missed. :(

I've seen a few episodes of his new show too, and I thought they were pretty good. I wonder how the show will go on now. :(
 
it really is sad, i didn't like his latest series (from what i saw anyway), but i grew up with "problem child"... he always seemed like such a nice guy, charmingly self-depricating and very laid-back.

Ritter did such a great job as the grocery store manager in Slingblade. I wish he had had a chance to do a few more dramatic movie roles. He'll be missed by a lot of fans.
 
He was also the voice of "Clifford" in PBS's "Clifford the Big Red Dog" series.

Now how am I going to tell my kids that Clifford is dead?
