John RItter (Jack Tripper of "Three's Company" and John Hennesy of "8 Simple Rules...") has died at age 54 of a heart attack. This being said, let us have a moment of silence for John Ritter and 100 POSTS IN HIS MEMORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Think of this as a Sitcoms Online funeral service for the best actor on one of the best message boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) :crying: :heart: May he Rest in Peace! :heart: :crying: WE LOVE YOU JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was Paul Hennesy, nevermind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sources (MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) were incorrect. Sorry.

But still, may he rest in peace. :heart: :crying:

*Is silent for a moment*

RIP John, you don't know how much i will miss you!

RIP John. I could never forget you. :(

I wont be able to watch Three's Company without crying.

~~~~*Moment of Silence*~~~~

God bless you, John Ritter, for making this world a happier place.
The world lost a great comedian, a wonderful actor and a truly remarkable person. May you find peace.

Funeral Blues W.H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves,
Let the traffic policeman wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, My South, my East and West.
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

:heart: John, your family, stage families, friends, and most of all, BELOVED FANS!, will never forget you. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart:

R.I.P. John.

Two of my favorite shows were Three's Company and 8 Simple Rules.... Now I'll never be able to watch them the same way again!!!

My mom just told me that a few days ago John said he missed his father Tex, and couldn't wait to see him again. I guess he got his wish.

Even my moms crying, and what really upsets me is this morning i was watching TC and i said "I would give anything to meet John Ritter." And now i'll never get the chance. :(

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LAUGHS JOHN. YOU TRULY ARE THE KING OF COMEDY! :crying:

John, you always made me laugh whether it was hosting something, or playing Jack or Paul. You are awesome! And the world will miss you!! :(

You will surely be missed, Mr. Ritter. Thanks for all the laughs you gave with Three's Company and 8 Simple Rules For My Teenage Daughter. The world definitely will not be the same without you. :(

RIP, John. Heaven has now become a much funnier place to be! We'll miss you, though.

Not many words to say, still in shock.
My family and I will sadly miss you John!
Rest In Peace
Many condolences to his family and friends:(

I just heard the news about an hour ago...I am still in shock. He was one of my all-time favorite performers.

RIP John!

:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

I want to say that I am very saddened by the passing of John Ritter. :( I have been a fan of 8 Simple Rules ever since my mom introduced it to me last year. I admit that John Ritter is the one who made the show what it is. His character was refreshingly funny.
Though it is hard to tell what actors/actresses are like based on their performances (personality an be completely different), I just always felt that this John Ritter guy had something genuine in him...someone who was friendly, nice, giving, and above all talented and passionate in what he did.

I heard about his death on the news...it was the very first thing I heard when I was awoken this morning. I missed the name but heard the funniest sitcom mentioned and it wasn't until this afternoon my mom clarified it was John Ritter. :(

It's weird because, though I feel sad about celebrity deaths, I usually do not "care"...well, I am not sure how to word that...I just don't feel like something was lost from my life. Like some of the singers that have passed within the past few years, it didn't have an impact on me...but John Ritter's passing has. I'm in shock. I have not been familiar with this actor because I just saw him in the 8 Simple Rules until I caught a Three's Company rerun. It's weird that I feel so affected by this.

54 is a very young age to pass...too young for anyone. I think that's what saddens me even more.

Goodbye John Ritter, I haven't "known" you for long, but it was nice for the short time. Thanks for all the laughs you have brought in my household, as well as others.

:clap That was beautiful!

:(

SO sad.......... John ritter was such a great actor. Firefly, i know what you mean about not really feeling a loss about hollywood deaths, until now i havent been this sad since the death of beloved george harrison.
John, thank you so much for making us laugh, ang bringing happiness to our lives. I dont think i will be able to stop crying today. You will forever be missed R.I.P. :(

I wonder if N@N will have a moment of silence before they air the next episode of Three's Company. It's a shame to think the last episode I happened to watch on N@N was the episode in which they pretend Jack is dead. I don't watch the show very much at all, bujt it's a shame that John Ritter died.

Out of respect for him, I hope that they do.

I grew up watching you as a child.. you made me laugh harder than anyone else, and I always considered you one of the very best. Thanks for always bringing laughter into our living rooms. May you rest in peace up there with your father - we won't forget you.

My prayers are with his family and cast on the show.

RIP John:(

Yup yup!

Rest In Peace John Ritter.

To John Ritter:

Wow. I am only 12, yet your death affected me like a family member. I grew up on Threes Company. My whole family is in disbelief.

R.I.P. I'll miss you.

RIP
:(

:thanks: Thanks for all the laughs John :thanks:

:(

Yep. We're all sad. I'm sorry John had to die.

I'm still in shock. :( Its a shame he had to go.... :(

I know! I don't think he was ready to die!

:(. 2 days have passed without him.

It's so sad.

This was so unexpected. We will never see another one like him ever again. He will definitely be missed. :(

God bless John Ritter.

None of this feels real. :(

:( I don't even know where to start. I seriously have never felt for the death of a celebrity like I am feeling now after the loss of the Great John Ritter...I feel like I knew him and he was apart of my life. My condolences to the entire Ritter family, you'll definetly be in my prayers. John's untimely death has definetly been an eye opener for me to live my everyday to the fullest, because you never know when you may perish...lets hold on to the precious memories we have of him and never let them go. I love you John Ritter...RIP, you will never be forgotten :(

Goodbye John. We will miss you alot. I guess I'm like some of you guys, I don't usually get affected by celebrity deaths myself. But this is definitely an exception. I havent been following John's career for long, only for about a couple of years. I have seen some of his films like Problem Child 1&2 etc. Then I started watching 8SR & I really knew what an amazing actor he was. He was so passionate & down-to-earth. 54 is too young to have your life ending untimely:( But John, you may be in a better place now, but your spirit will always live on in our hearts.

R.I.P. John Ritter 1948-2003

I watched the ET Weekend tribute to John Ritter and nearly cried my eyes out... Did anyone else see it? If so, what did you think???

I didn't watch it but I"m still really sad about it.

Rest in Peace, John. You are truly one of the funniest men to ever have graced my television set. While I never watched "8 Simple Rules", Three's Company remains one of my favorite shows. You will be greatly missed by everyone who ever saw you act, and by everyone who saw you as yourself. R.I.P.

My condolences to Henry Winkler, who was John's best friend.

YAY WE'RE HALF-WAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THE SYMPATHY POSTS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rest in peace, John. You will be missed!

R.I.P. John, you were the greatest physical comedian of all-time.

Even though I've never met you, I felt like I knew you and you were the only person I've ever cried for.

Now your upstairs with the Ropers.
