I will miss Leslie Nielson's humor. I can sit through "Airplane" 10 times and still laugh!

    Incredible Canadian actor, can't believe he was 84 already. Time fly’s.

    RIP

    I have raised six children (a Brady bunch) and I made them all watch it....a family tradition. He'll be making fart noises in Heaven I am sure.

    Airplane and Naked Gun movies still crack me up. He will be missed.

    I can remember him playing the tough guy many years ago. What a transition! He will be sorely missed.

    Hello Amy!

    One of my all time "Airplane" quotes...

    Dr. Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
    Elaine ****inson: Well, we had a choice: steak or fish.
    Dr. Rumack: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

    I know! So incredibly sad. He was such a great man, actor, comedian. Love "Airplane!" Just watched it last week actually. He will be missed.

    Naked Gun and Airplane are movies that I have seen enough times that I can probably do a one man show reciting every line. That and an under-appreciated movie called Repossessed. RIP

    I've finally found someone I can love - a good, clean love... without utensils

    Dead & Loving It . . . a tradition around October and something we slip into the DVD player whenever we are feeling down and need a great belly laugh . . . Thanks Leslie . . . will miss you.

    I was shocked about this news last night.
    He was a great actor. I loved when he used to make appearances on Due South.
    Always playing a quirky role, you could always count on him for a good laugh.
