Roy Rogers was a kind man, a gentleman, a great singer, and very much aware of his influence on young children. Millions of kids all over the world wanted to copy everything he did so, he always tried to set a good example. I love this and will always admire him.

One of the greats in our country. Nothing but class, character and kindness. People don't know it but not even trying hard....Roy had so many hundreds of millions of dollars he bought baseball teams and had many radio stations worth many many millions too. He lived a Godly life, in spite of so much tragedy like losing children and wives dying and still never gave up on God. I loved the man and what he stood for. May God bless him.

He's so steady in the saddle, he could be at full gallop and his head doesn't even move. He was in dozens of Republic cowboy movies plus decades of his own shows-- and never killed anyone.

I was born in 1942 and had watched his movies on Saturday and programs on TV for years. I was tongue tied. All i could do was shake his hand. His hand was rough like a dried corn cob with no kernels on it. What an experience to meet a hero like that.

Sat in front of the TV watching the Roy Rogers show in the 50's, he was in double features in our local movie theater for 25 cents, I finally saw him in person in M.S.G. riding Trigger at the Rodeo and got to shake his hand, I accidentally pulled his tan leather glove off and wanted to keep it, but my Dad made me go back down to the railing and when he rode around again, I handed it out to him, he winked at me, took the glove and smiled and said, "Thank you partner." Made my day forever.

Okay...I hadn't noticed any 'dates' other than the 'air-date' of the show. Man...think of all the stories he could have told, given time to do it, and the right questions asked! I was never really into the Hollywood version of 'cowboys'...and even Rodgers himself was something of a fiction! (he more or less 'created' the 'Roy Rodgers' personae from his own idealized version of 'what a real cowboy should have been') He knew how to entertain people, and that's a certainty! And nothing wrong with that.( Clint Eastwood has said many times that Rodgers was his inspiration for 'Bronco Billy' and that the entire movie was based on Rodger's life and his 'Code of the West' as it should have been...that's quite a tribute!)

I have an excuse for the 'd'...a friend I grew-up with is 'Rodgers' and it's a 'no-brainer' to write it with a 'd' every time! (people frequently pronounce my name 'Night-ING-ale' and it drives me bug-shit!)

The best reception I have seen given Roy was when he appeared at the CMA awards with Vernon Gosden....Randy Travis was there with George Jones and Tammy Wynette and was singing "Heroes and Friends" which was Randy's tribute to Roy. All of a sudden Roy walks out with Vern Gosden and the whole front row went crazy. These were young people, in their twenties and thirties, not the senior citizens you might expect...and you can tell by the looks of the women's faces that they were remembering back to the time when they were little girls and wanted Roy to ride up on Trigger and whisk them away.

As a young boy growing up in Detroit I was a proud member of the "Roy Rogers Riders Club" and had my little Id card to prove it. He was most certainly one of my favorite boyhood heroes and I used to watch his TV program all the time.

I was managing the restaurant at Stallion Springs Resort just outside of Tehachapi, CA in the 70's. Roy Rogers stayed there a night or two and I, along with a couple of other employees, had the greatest privilege of speaking with him for probably 15 - 20 minutes one night after dinner with no one else there. Dale was sick at the time and so not present. He was exactly like the character he portrayed in his shows. One of the nicest of people and as far from a '"Hollywood"' type personality as could possibly be and still be a star. Amazing man and one of my favorite memories. I worked in the service end of the Restaurant Industry for about 10 years, meeting several movie stars during that time. Most were decent people. A few could only be described as self-privileged, pompous assholes. But the four who stand out, to me at least, as being some of the nicest people going are, in the order I met them, Paul Newman with his wife, Joanne Woodward, Henry Fonda, and Roy Rogers. All were huge in the Hollywood scene and yet were just nice, plain, humble folk when I spoke with them.

Roy was the first movie and TV star I ever liked and who was a really big deal to me. I'm 61, born in '57 - the year his TV show ended. And by the time I was 5, though Roy's movie days were long gone, his TV show's reruns were constantly playing on Saturday afternoons. And as TV was saturated with the popularity of westerns, this kept Roy hugely popular with kids.

Roy's comical sidekick on the TV series was Pat Brady who drove the jeep Nellie Belle. Gabby was his sidekick in the 1930's - 40's movies. Growing up in the 50's The Roy Rogers Show was one of my favorites. He was my hero.

I stand corrected. All these years I thought it was Gabby. My first TV hero was Ramar of the Jungle. There's some clips of that here. Next was the Long Ranger. When I got colds and sore throats, I hoped my voice would stay low to sound like the Ranger. As part of the school safety patrol we were sent on a trip to the Farm Show Building for maybe a circus, I forget. The only thing I remember is the Lone Ranger riding around the ring.
