Later Neighbor: Mr. Rogers Dies at 74
Mr. Rogers Passes On to Another Neighborhood
A soft spot is in so many of our hearts for Fred Rogers, known to many as Mr. Rogers who produced the long running, Emmy award winning children's TV show. He had been diagnosed with stomach cancer sometime after the holidays.
Everybody, won't you sing along with me:
WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR
It's a beau-ti-ful day in this neigh-bor-hood,
a beau-ti-ful day for a neigh-bor.
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
It's a neigh-bor-ly day in this beau-ty wood,
a neigh-bor-ly day for a beau-ty,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
I have al-ways want-ed to have a neigh-bor just like you!
I've al-ways want-ed to live in a neigh-bor-hood with you.
So let's make the most of this beau-ti-ful day,
since we're to-geth-er we might as well say;
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neigh - bor?
Won't you please, won't you please?
Please won't you be my neigh-bor?
Circa 1967

From the comment below, I found this link for anyone talking to their kids about Mr. Rogers passing...
Your site is easy on the eyes. Gray beats black background hands down. Thanks for posting the Mr. Rogers photo, it's one of the best I've seen today. Take a look at my Roger's thoughts if you like...
