Thanks Ronnie for many of my warmest childhood memories and for many, many hours of smiles still to come.

I saw an interview with Ronnie Barker (before his appearance as Churchills Manservant) during which he revealed that he would accept a film role only on the proviso that he would co star with De Niro or Pacino.  What a terrific film that could have been.  He will be sorely missed and I lament that we so rarely saw him play serious roles.

I was sorry to hear of Ronnie's death.  My children have just started watching my Porridge DVDs with me and I think he would have laughed to hear my 6 year old say "It must have been funny, 'cause they laughed" in the scene where Gobber asks Fletch "What's a practising homosexual?" and Fletch replies "One who hasn't got it right yet."

A marvel of a man.  He made the world seem a better place.  Full of laughter and innocence.  Thanks for all you gave us.

Growing up with his comedy gave me a sense of humour from a very early age, he had a gift to appeal to all ages I know this because I laughed at his comedy when I was 8 and I still laugh now at 32 and will always laugh.  My heart goes out to his family, live in the comfort that he made millions of people laugh......

I've been away from Britain for nearly 20 years, but I've never forgotten The Two Ronnies and the two great shows Porridge and Open All Hours.  I think I liked Open All Hours most.  I also liked Going Straight, and it was only today that I was surprised to find out that most people think of it as not up to scratch.  I never felt it was a disappointment while it was on.  Today I found out that Ronnie Barker has died.  It's a shock, it really is.  I saw him recently in My House in Umbria, and just seeing him brought the good memories flowing back.  That guy knew how to be funny.  It's a tragic loss.

I grew up watching Ronnie Barker and he never failed to make me laugh.  Open all hours and Porridge are comedy classics.  Another one of my comedy heroes has gone, but he will always live on through his timeless acting and excellent comedy timing.  A sad day he will be missed.

To say that Ronnie was one of my heroes is an understatement in itself.  The joy he gave me, and I am sure will continue to give me, can never be surpassed.  A man and his many characters that could lift me from being miserable every time without fail.  My thoughts are with your family Ronnie.  I know you'll be makin' them laugh upstairs as I write this.  Goodnight and God bless to my favuorite comedian.

I have shared the nickname, "Fletch" with Norman Stanley for many years.  My favourite TV show is still Porridge and in my family quotes like "I read a book once - green it was" and "What? From here?" are an everyday occurrence. Like many others I'll miss just knowing a spirit like Ronnie Barkers exists in the world. Safe journey,

Top bloke who me and my brother laugh for years.  He probably always will.  Keep up the nice site as a tribute to the man.  Never let them grind you down... a life motto.

I have grown up with this iconic Comedian who has my total respect.  He was so modest but so funny too.  The country is a legend short now he has left us - what can I say I'm gutted.  I have always believed him to be the best comedian this country has ever had, there was no match.  He was a devout family man for who I send my deepest sympathy.  My only rejoice is that we had the pleasure of his company - RIP Ronnie.
