    I met John Candy in a bar in Chicago. He stood by the front entrance, shook hands with people, smiled and talked. Then he went to the back of the bar with his friends and everyone left him alone out of respect for what a nice guy he was.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Candy soon before he died. He was utterly down to earth, gentle, polite and kind - these are not qualities one encounters with any frequency in Hollywood. He shook my hand, and his soft, gentle hands felt like very large baseball mitts engulfing my small hands. You rarely forget genuine kindness. May God bless his family.

    My sister picked me up from school in the 6th grade. Usually I always walked so was shocked to see her. She took me to eat too. Even though our brother had passed a few years prior I thought it was just for a treat. She told me John Candy had passed away. Instant tears. When our brother had passed I watched back to back movies of John to laugh and cry and just escape the sad reality that a 10 year old didn’t want to face. I have never seen this wonderful eulogy and am so thankful to see it now. My sister has no passed as well and many others too. John Candy remains a bright light in my life that lets me escape life but not nearly as often as when I was a child. Thank you so much for posting this. Appreciation from Detroit 💙💙💙💙

    Awe.. when I was 26 I was the stunt double for Joey Lawrence in the movie Summer Rental..😊 I worked alongside him every single day for weeks here in St Petersburg. It was OUR idea to stuff a pair of HIS jeans to use for a sail in the racing scene! 😂 That was a great Cast Richard Crenna, Rip Torn, Karen Austin, Kerri Green, who went directly to the filming of The Goonies after her final scene. John Larroquette, of course Directed by Carl Reiner. Wow that was a 1985 holy moly! He is missed, and always will be in our hearts.

    John candy was a wonderful human- generous with his time, his humour, his wit.
    He was my dads favourite- I think partly bc John many things my dad admired- funny, humble, kind, encouraging, proud of his roots and a lover of football.
    What makes it more tragic is how young John candy was when he left us and how much he accomplished while he was here.
    My dad left the year after John, and was only a few years older.
    But when John Candy died, my dad was visibly upset and said “what a great man.. great Canadian. Damm.. “

    I read that at John Belushi's brother's bachelor party a stripper was brought in and began performing, embarrassing John Belushi's father to death. John Candy immediately went up to the man and brought him outside, stayed with him, kept him company and entertained him for the whole night. Nice man.

    Man truly a safe haven when I can’t handle the world. I put on one of his movies and feel better.

    When Steve Martin was looking at the script “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” and reflected on a particular scene between he and J.C., Steve nearly lost it… I did because it was obvious the two were close.

    I remember it like yesterday. It was evening time. My parents were out. My twin brother and i were arguing earlier and now were watching tv in silence.
    Then we saw a large photo of John on the tv and wondered what was it about. Then read the "John Candy has died" headline and were in shock.
    We forgot about our arguing immediately and shared quotes of Candy's films.❤

    (Joan here). I had not seen this before. What a beautiful and moving tribute. I have a 'sorta' John Candy story by proxy. On a walk, my son and mother saw John Candy up close when he was doing a movie (his last I believe) on Gerrard St. in Toronto which was close to where we lived at the time. My mother was thrilled. My son was only 2 at the time so he may have been thrilled that his grandmother was thrilled, but he had no idea who John Candy was. I was just a tad envious. John Candy always made a movie better - even some of those really far out movies that weren't/aren't to my taste. He just had "something" - that ability to portray an annoying or 'woebegotten' character whom you would end up rooting for and adoring by the end of the movie. It was a sad day when John Candy left the world.

    I grew up watching him in the '80s. He always made me laugh till I cried. I was in high school when he passed away. It's really sad about it. What an incredible eulogy! She did an amazing job. I only hope I can leave such an mark on the world like John Candy. Probably no where near to what he did but maybe a glimmer. What an amazing human. God rest his soul. Thank you John Candy for your love and laughter. We miss you desperately. 🙏🏻❤️

    That line from Sandlers tribute to Chris Farley comes to mind.
    "We said slow down man or you'll wind up like Belushi and Candy. He said those guys are my heroes that would be fine and dandy. IIIIIIIIIM not making that up he really said that shiiiiiit"
