Steve

Fri, 4 Mar '11

I saw elsewhere this was the anniversary of his death. I met John at a convention in Las Vegas, I guess 20 years ago now. He had been hired by a sponsoring company to greet folks in a hospitality suite. We chatted for a very short time about his work. I asked for an autograph, and he signed a map I was carrying: "Steve, thanks for the acting lessons! John Candy" Like Allan says here, I could not believe how nice he was.

Hello John, seventeen years ago you left us but your memory is still alive. I grew up with your movies, between smiles and laughter, you were an amazing actor. With love, Dario from Italy

John Continue to make the angels and God laugh in heaven. God took you way too soon, but you are at peace. My favorite movie of yours was "Only the Lonely" RIP John forever

Never failed to make me laugh and am the proud owner of Uncle Buck and the Great Outdoors. I watch them often and will look out for Armed and Dangerous which I also love. What a lovely man!

Your films live on from Planes Trains to Cool Runnings. I am 41 now and still laugh out loud when I watch Uncle Buck, my 9 year old loves you too. RIP gone but never ever forgotten.

it might be 2011 and there may have been some great films in the last 20 yrs including some great comedies but nobody has yet beaten Planes. trains & automobiles...it stands the test of time. Uncle Buck and the great outdoors is excellent too. His smile and his personality came across on screen. A larger than life character and i for one miss him on the screen. RIP Big guy

John, a really delightful man has made me laugh out loud in every film. Planes Trains + Automobiles remains one of the best as too is Uncle Buck.

I do miss John and think of him fondly though it is a bitter-sweet memory. He left us too soon and I wish I had taken the time to let him know how much I admired him. I still get a bit misty toward the end of Planes, Trains & Automobiles. That is one of my favorite films. I just die when he gets into that laughing jag in the motel and leans out of the bathroom door laughing too hard to speak! It reminds me of some of my own escapades from my youth. John, I love you buddy.
