Jean and Russell Johnson are 1 -10 on my list

Who else do you feel seemed very sweet and/or likable (just a genuinely good person)?

MegtheEgg86 · 05-17-2015, 12:53 PM

Jeff Oberholtzer.

Gord McAllister
family in the edward harold bell segment
fritz (From the WW2 segement)
Another one that stands out I can't remember his name. A vietnam war pilot that couldn't locate his american daughter? Also christophe day's father and the wrongfully convicted suspect in the bird road rapes.

Everyone already mentioned plus:
*Stephen Ross
*Most of the lost love family members, actually
*Susan Billig
*Rose Hoffman
*Rhonda Hinson's parents
*Clarence Robert's brother (even if I disagreed with his opinions)
*Mark Groezinger's brother. You could tell even from that short interview that he really cared about his brother and was trying to be objective about pointing fingers.
*Cliff Davis.

David Chase's wife Judi.
Rob Schafer.

The engineer from the "Boys on the Tracks" segment. He just sounded so haunted by the event, even though years had passed and he had truly done nothing wrong.

*Dee Ziegert - One of my favorite UM moms. I've seen her in more recent newscasts about anniversaries of Lisa's death and she comes off just as sweet as she did in the segment.

*Bill Day - It's impossible not to admire that guy and how he constantly put the needs of his own son ahead of his own, even while looking for him. He came across like such a nice guy but at the same time, so emotionally drained during his interview.

*Danielle (sister of Tracy Wofford-Bunn) - Level headed and a very likable person in her interview. One of my favorite all time interviewee's.

*Troy Carlton - Despite getting remarried and raising a stepson, it didn't matter that 15+ years had passed at the time since he last saw Pat. He wanted to know that she was alive so she could be reunited with her family and have the happiness she deserved. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years before that ended up happening.

*Mark and Debbie Baskin - I've liked them and felt pain for them ever since I first saw their segment as a kid. Reading Debbie's blog, she's one of the most incredible people I've ever read about.

*Jeff Oberholtzer - Another likable interviewee. Watch the Sensing Murder episode and he STILL comes across like a soft spoken and caring man.

*Stephanie Booker - I was blown away when she said in her interview that she felt sorry for the people driving the boat that mangled her face and how they must have felt when they realized what they had done. She's a much better person than me. I would not be so forgiving.

Jeff Oberholtzer
WB Mac McDonald- He seemed to have regretted what happened in the past but was willing to leave his estate/money to his daughter.
Charles Horvaths mother
Annette Burnsides mother
Gayle Delanos mother
Bill Day
Lisa Ziegerts parents
I agree about Russell & Jean Johnson.. nowadays most ppl would call the cops if a homeless man showed up at their door
Larry Dickens mother/sister

-Gordon Page's parents: You obviously need a lot of strength and character to raise an autistic child and they both seemed like two of the most loving, supportive parents imaginable

-Ron Jackson, the trucker in the John Cheek segment: It's possible he was mistaken about buying breakfast for John in the truck stop, but he still seemed like a very generous, kind-hearted guy

-Tony Miller: I've honestly never seen the full Final Appeal segment, but his joyful reaction at getting released in the update is one of my favourite feel-good moments on UM. I also loved how Tony's lawyer described him as one of the most enjoyable people he's ever met

-Christi Nichols' grandmother looked like a genuinely sweet, classy woman

-Susan Harrison's sons both seemed like a remarkably nice, classy young men, considering the abuse they had to witness their mother go through

-Leon Camp: You just know he would have treated Wendy and her children well and given them a good life if that evil family hadn't intervened.

-Duncan Gilmore and his wife: Most feel-good UM update ever

Duncan Gilmore is a good one. Also Gordon page's dad I always felt bad for him. Seems like he blamed himself a lot IIRC.

dynoguy88 · 05-18-2015, 02:03 PM

Loved Duncan Gilmore and especially his wife Suzanne. She could have easily kept her mouth shut about watching the segment and what she had learned. She didnt HAVE to wake him up. She didn't freak out. She was completely supportive.

Even during the reunion, she has this huge smile on her face as they walk hand in hand up the walkway and then she positions him in front of her after knocking on the door so Duncan and his daughter can be one and one the first time they see each other.

Yay for supportive spouses.

Yeah that must be why the reunion was sooo happy and not hard at all for Duncan.
