I thought I'd take the time to remember John Ritter as today marks the fifth year of his passing. He will always be revered as Jack Tripper; he was a great father as Paul Hennessy; and he could make me laugh as John Hartman. A gifted, funny, dramatic actor who shone in Sling Blade and the Waltons, made us laugh on Three's Company, Hearts Afire, and 8 Simple Rules.

John Ritter
1948-2003

RIP John. Wow September 11th is a weird day now

1. My cousin was Born on 4:03 pm on September 11th
2. The day the twin towers was attacked
3. John Ritter's passing
4. The 50/Kanye West square off

i don't know his other work but 3's co is enough for me !!!!!

R.I.P. John. I'll never forget you.

Thank you for posting this. In all the media coverage of the 7th anniversary of 9/11, it's easy to forget that this marks another tragic event; the death of John Ritter. :(

I wish I could have met him.

We love you and miss you, John!:(

One of my favorite all time sitcom stars. REST IN PEACE JOHN.

come and knock on our door...

Btw, he would of turned 60 this year.

Can't believe it has been five years. It went by so fast, but that day felt like it lasted 5 years. Here is my tribute:

:rip: to a terrific actor and great guy. You are still missed, John!!!!

It's so hard to believe he passed away 5 years ago. :( R.I.P. John.

His death was hard on me which is strange, I am the type that thinks if it was your time, it was your time. I'm over it now, but that doesn't mean I still don't think of him and love him. See ya later, John.

I cant belive that it has been 5 Year's since John Ritter passed away

Wow, I can't believe it's been five years. It still seems so unbelievable. Everytime you see one of those tribute montages and his picture is there, it's as if he doesn't belong. The world truly lost a great talent. He may be gone burt he's certainly not forgotten. We can continue to watch his work through technology today and laugh like we did the first time when saw him. Miss ya, John.

I really miss him, such a beautiful man and incredible actor. :(

In the end we have his work; and that should be enough. Though of course it is not.
