Godspeed, Mr. Reeve.

CNN played that and I almost burst into tears.

The only thing I could think right now is...Superman is gone.

When I first heard about it I couldn't belive it. In my mind there was never any doubt that he would walk again. This couldn't be hapening because it would prevent him from ever realizing that dream.

I can't escape the thought that this isn't the way its suposed to be.

Holy hell, this came out of nowhere. Rest in peace, sir.

I decided to listen to the Superman theme after reading this.

I was surprisingly moved.

Very moving and touching. I'd almost forgotten that Superman was part of my younger life. When times were tough in school, I used to look up to the Superman icon for support, and it worked.

I salut the effort.

I'm listening to the theme right now. Most unfortunate.

He will always be Superman, now and forever. He not only played an awesome role in the movies he was also an inspiration for those in a similar position. He was a Superman in real life and celluloid. RIP Christopher.

Perhaps Christopher Reeve loved life enough that he felt differently, but I can only speak for myself.

He did. Every day, he would exercise his muscles with the help of machines so that they'd be healthy for that day when he'd be able to get up from his chair and walk again. He never lost hope.

I'd just like to mention that I'm stealing Dalton's tribute picture for that purpose. I like it the best!

It's said that as long as a man is remembered, he will never really die.

If so, thanks to Superman, Christopher Reeve is truly immortal.

He was someone who showed us that it doesn't take super powers to make a real superhero. He was a part of my childhood. To not look forward to the next...whatever...with him in it, it feels like I lost something I didn't even know I had.

Did anyone read his book, "Nothing is Impossible?" It was pretty good. I especially liked how he showed Scientology to be a bunch of crap.

I'll miss him. He was an idol of mine.
