He was one of the kindest people I ever met. My mother and I met him in Cherokee, NC, got to exercise with him, sit and chat with him, and he even gave me a kiss on the cheek and a picture and autograph. When our home burned down a few years later, I lost my picture and was so upset. He sent me a new one with a very nice personal message. He will be missed. Thank you for the nice video. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
He was an awesome person who loved hearing from people and personally answering letters. That's what he did all day when he was at home. He lived to encourage people and truly loved everyone he came in contact with. I had a personal letter from him also when I wrote to him in the 90s. Now that I am in my 50s I had just recently started using his videos (on YT) again. He left a legacy of love and simple instructions on how to take care of ourselves. Xoxo
You and your mom were so blessed to have met Richard Simmons. And he was blessed to meet you both also. He's so funny and got such a beautiful soul and helped so many people he is definitely going to be missed forever
Richard Simons, was a regular customer, in a supermarket where I work, he show up early in the mornings on the weekends, I loved to help him, one day I told him my daughter was very nervous because she was going to start college he told me to put my daughter on the phone and they talked for a long time,and he send her a note with his number and told her she could call him when ever she needed a pep talk. He was wonderful with everyone in the store. Great person .
Richard Simmons never said a mean thing about anyone. He always had something positive to say to you when he meets you. Just a good soul and heart. Gone too soon. He always brought a smile to my face.
My late aunt Was his housekeeper for 15 years when she became ill? Every month without failure he always sent the most magnificent bouquet of flowers right up until she died . And although I never met him my aunt always said it was the best job she ever had. He was an absolute pleasure.
I used to watch him on reality shows where he went into hospitals to visit and encourage morbidly obese people. He was so kind and really cared about them. Fame never went to his head. The last years of his life he chose to live quietly. RIP Richard. You earned your place in Heaven.
Richard Simmons was a good friend to my Aunt. When we lost loved ones (my grandparents) he sent Flowers and a card to our family at the time of our mourning! He was a very kind compassionate person! ❤
Richard fell in love with that house when he saw it, an old lady owned it and Richard kept after her to sell, she finally agreed around 82' and Richard bought the house for less than $700,000. Richard loved that house. The gates are new in the last 10 years or so. That's Richard's Range Rover, Richard loved Range Rover's.
Wow he got a good deal on that house. And I was going to bring up the vehicle but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, considering he just passed away. I don't know why I drew the line there, I guess something about that being his car made it feel so much sadder. Thank you so much for watching
Richard was an awesome man, He overcame obesity in New Orleans, when he was in the 8th grade he was like 200 lbs, went on to help alot of people get fit. He will be missed.
I’m from New Orleans and I have met Richard several times when I was younger Just like your mom, my mom bought every single workout tape he made. What made it fun was the music he would have playing as you worked out. Anywhere he would go, he would put a smile on everyone’s face no matter what kind of mood you were in. He will truly be missed!!! RIP
I wrote to Richard twice in the 90's and was surprised, he always wrote back! I still have his letters and will cherish them. I was so happy he had began to reach out in Facebook and was sharing wonderful life stories. He was planning in writing a book. It's so sad he never got the chance. He was such a WONDERFUL PERSON and I will ALWAYS love him!!!!
One time I was waking my dogs around the block in West Hollywood. Richard came out of a house with a friend and saw my dogs and me. I could tell he liked the dogs so we met him. He was very nice just like you see. 2003, that was lovey and I'll never forget. That moment❤ Nice video
Richard Simmons was such a "real" guy and was not stuck up and would talk to anyone. He came from nothing and made lots of money, but never acted like he was better than anyone. He was so sweet and would help anyone. So sad to hear of his death.
Richard Simmons , was such a gift to the world, was so kind and gentle. But now he's in heaven, i hope he get's to embrace the love from god, he'll be badly missed. I will always love you Richard Simmons. R.I.P my friend.
He died on my 62 birthday so sad he was loved and watched by so many people what an inspiration to losing weight and staying healthy. RIP 🙏 Mr Richard Simmons ❤
Happy belated Birthday. I will be 62 on July 28th. We are only 15 days apart. Richard Simmons was phenomenal with a heart of gold. I know I will see him again in Heaven one day. God bless you💙
He was in the bathroom the night before he got dizzy & fell & hit his head & his housekeeper found him & tried to get him to go to the hospital but he refused cuz he wanted to wait till after his birthday which was the next day. Then his housekeeper found him laying on the floor next to the bed passed away
@lynnecrisp yeah and I think that information came out after I made the video. I looked it up before I left and it's still said that he passed away from natural causes. Thanks for the report and thank you for watching
I was born in 1975 so it seems like Richard Simmons was always in the peripheral of my life. Always a kind man he never had a unkind word to say about anyone and that's quite admirable. Many people get wealthy but the real wealth is our kindness
In the late 1970s, early 1980s, Richard Simmons had a role in the soap opera, General Hospital. He was a fitness instructor. There were 2 actresses on the show, at the time, that were playing sisters. The actresses were Demi Moore and Janine Turner, they were pretty unknown at the time.
I wrote a letter to him in 7th grade telling him how much i love him . Im 56 now...he never wrote back but I didn't care .... Him growing up in New Orleans makes sense ... he truly is a mini mobile Mardi Gras ...he was a good person..🙏❤️RIP
Auhhhh! How sweet that was of u! I'm sure he would of responded to u, but was probably so busy in his life. ❤️🌹💙Just know how awesome that was of you! 💜💙!
I still have his cassette tapes..he motivated me to eat healthy and exercise when I was dealing with being an overweight child. I will always remember him & forever miss him ❤
he was a kind person and no matter what he always said positive and I loved him being cheeky . I think it was always a nice high for him with out the drugs . I think he was going too be greatly missed I hope hes always leaving us his videos his smile and the hair and his jazzy happy life .
THE sweetest man ever that was a celebrity.....Richard devoted his life to encouraging others! he's one in a million that used his fame for good. RIP Richard.,.,.,
I think I still his Deal a Meal kit..he was a guest on Whos Line Is It Anyway, the episode had me in stitches laughing! Richard was so kind hearted, caring and lovable. I missed seeing him in the public eye for so so so long, and now he is gone forever. RIP Richard, thank you for all the inspiration and support during my weightloss journey. I lost 52 in June!
That was the best Whose Line Is It Anyway episode ever! That's awesome that he helped you lose weight, such a good thing to hear. Thank you for watching.
Thank You so much….. Richard Simmons gave us a final picture and little note ( in his NASA uniform)… so sweet , so look that up… He was a Wonderful Person…., Loving and Sincere…..
I remember Richard Simmons as being so genuine and he truly wanted to help people , he seemed to really care and want to see people reach their goals with weight loss and achieving a healthier lifestyle. Rest now your kind soul and finally be at peace. ❤
Some people leave us with memories that are as amazing as the memories we all have of Richard. Others leave us and it's a stretch to have something positive for us to remember. By all accounts Richard was a very good man. The world needs more like him, it's fair to say he will be sadly missed.
I absolutely loved and still love Richard Simmons ❤❤❤ He was the kindest and most caring, funny person that you could ever meet. He is absolutely wonderful and a true blessing. We miss you so very much Richard Simmons.
His Death is very Sad for me. Even though I didn't know him personally I thought he was a wonderful guy. Condolences to his family and friends. ✝️🙏🏽❤️💜
I met him at his Meet & Greet Programs at the Tacoma Mall, in WA State, with his Deal-A-Meal. I was standing right in front of him, and apparently someone behind me tripped me and I fell to the floor, and he reached down and grabbed my arm and helped me off the floor, and asked me if I was "ok" He was very nice, fun and kind. as well as friendly.
Wow that's an incredible story! I'm surprised that so many people have similar stories to this in my comment section those of you that were lucky enough to meet him and witness his kindness, I take my hat off to you. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching I appreciate it
Thanks for sharing your video. Richard Simmons was a Gift. My mother joined one of his Gyms. Took 1 class her 1st day, couldn't get outta bed all weekend & never went back. Absolutely Hysterical.
He was such a bright star in this dark world. His attitude and personality was so addictive. I wish he didn't go into hiding the years before his death because he was such a loving person. Rest in Peace Richard, we will truly miss you.
Yes I wish we could have had more of his positivity before he passed away. On the one hand I wish you would have continued to spread the positivity but on the other hand he deserved his retirement. Thanks for watching
@@opfla they were friends for a long time, Dave may have pushed a prank to far. I don't know if Richard didn't like him, that may have slipped under my radar.
I didn’t appreciate Letterman’s attitude and criticisms of Richard...both to him when he appeared and comments afterward. Very nasty sometimes about Richard.
He is the warmest kind-hearted truest original person I have ever seen on Television I never got a chance to meet him in person but I don't need to meet him to know How wonderful he is and was One In A Billion he was I will miss his personality character and his vibrancy ❤
There will never be a person like him again i had nobody in my apartment in my 20s but him in my living room working out to sweet to oldies i hate exercising videos but his he was definitely the best made it a blast.
Richard and I had the same birthday, only he was 6 years oldr! In the 80s thru all the crazy diets, bulimia, and anorexia , I found a voice of reason listening to Richard. I believe I survived partly due to his common sense approach. Thank you, Richard. You will truly be missed for a long, long time. RIP my birthday friend.
Are you sure that he's resting in peace ? his Soul that is because in Death your Soul comes out of your body and goes to where will be your new Eternal home be it Heaven or Hell and The Bible says very clearly that no Homosexual will ever enter Heaven 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJ ) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Loved him ever since i was a little girl, he got me to exercise, and taught me never to give up. I'm gonna miss him like crazy, I've been having a hard time dealing with his passing 😔
I always liked him. I was so sorry to hear that he had died. The cemetery seems very serene. It just seems like he should’ve been here with us longer. May he rest in peace.
This video of Remembrance of the Vivacious Richard, was absolutely Beautiful, & sooo respectfully done!!!🥰im sure his days as the overweight schoolboy had lots to do with his Amazing Public Court Jester Performances, that helped countless people live a better a life, beyond just weight concerns. From all I knew, he had a true heart of gold, & was actually a bit of a shy man, with equal parts of passion and compassion. Clowns always have to remove their face paints, & ditch their crazy clothes & shoes, & most are Never who they are in full makeup!!! Richard was Everything we saw, just quieter out of his. RIP Sweet Gentle Soul🥰🙏
This was so beautifully put thank you so much. If I ever need a Ghostwriter maybe I can call on you, I'm only joking of course but that truly is some thoughtful expression. Thanks for watching
Such a sweet man. Loved his energy, fun & playful personality. There was something a little sad about Richard, that you just wanted to give him a big hug. He really was, such a sweetie. Will miss him terribly. RIP😥🕯️🥀🕊️💔🙏😢
Richard motivated millions to get off the couch, live healthy and believe in yourselves. When he retired, people wondered why he disappeared from hollywood appearances. He wanted to live life without the fanfare. I respected that. He realized he was a court jester on public display and did it well. He was hilarious! God Bless Him!
Oh, what beautiful flowers over his beautiful grave site .I miss him already and will we all grow up with him very much, an American treasure in his way.
76 was a good amount of time. Life expectancy when he was born probably was less than that. RIP Richard. I watched many of your exercise shows and thought you were funny but mostly a kind human
Richard was such a sweet and giving person. He always thought of others, and he finally decided to just be private, and take care of himself. I do not blame him, everyone deserves privacy, and to do what they want to. His mental and physical health are/were important. Richard, just seemed like a friend, and when he passed, it felt like a big part was lost. Thank you, for posting this video, and for being so respectful of his, and his family’s privacy.
Richard was fabulous! He was a great man and a huge inspiration for many people throughout the years and motivated others with his sweet, loving style. I loved him. He was truly a beautiful man. ❤
Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. God Bless Richard Simmons. May he rest in eternal peace. He made a huge difference in many people’s lives.🙏❤️
He gave so much to others and he decided to live in peace and take care of himself. He made a decision to not have another knee surgery and decided to limit his work so he would not tax his good knee. It is a shame that his knee surgery was difficult for him. Many people do well but he did not and he accepted it. There is nothing wrong with being a homebody. I also read once that he was a catholic and prayerful. I admired RS. RIP
I was working a full time 8-5 job in the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's. Back in the 1980's when he was on tv if I was off work for a holiday I would watch his show. I did buy some of his videos. I thought he was fun. He was very popular in the 1980's with many of my friends. So sorry to hear of his passing.
He was one of the kindest people I ever met. My mother and I met him in Cherokee, NC, got to exercise with him, sit and chat with him, and he even gave me a kiss on the cheek and a picture and autograph.

Yes and what was the truth about people hiding him from the world in his home ?
@@joansmith6844 People didn't hide him. He stepped out of the public eye, as many celebrities have done. He was another JD Salinger or Greta Garbo.

I've never clicked on a video so fast! RIP Richard Simmons😥
@danthemanvargas2075 Thank you, he will be missed.❤️
Are you sure that he's resting in peace ? his Soul that is because in Death your Soul comes out of your body and goes to where will be your new Eternal home be it Heaven or Hell and The Bible says very clearly that no Homosexual will ever enter Heaven 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJ )
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Loved him ever since i was a little girl, he got me to exercise, and taught me never to give up. I'm gonna miss him like crazy, I've been having a hard time dealing with his passing 😔
That is so sweet, me too, it is tough. Thanks for watching ❤️
I always liked him. I was so sorry to hear that he had died. The cemetery seems very serene. It just seems like he should’ve been here with us longer. May he rest in peace.
Amazing watching him when I was younger. R.I.P Richard.❤
@evelynpechie6867 I agree, thanks for watching
Richard loved Dalmation dogs and at one time he owned several. I have some of the books he wrote and I sometimes go back and reread them.
I loved Richard Simmons. He always made you laugh. R.I.P.❤
he really did, thanks for watching
Who's Line Is It Anyway was the funniest thing I ever saw in my life
He was wonderful coming out to see the tour group! Love you,Richard! RIP
He was such a kind man
So sad he is gone he was such a sweet guy you will be truly missed Richard ❤❤
He was such a sweet and sensitive guy and the world is certainly a dimmer place since his passing.
True, thanks for watching
This video of Remembrance of the Vivacious Richard, was absolutely Beautiful, & sooo respectfully done!!!🥰im sure his days as the overweight schoolboy had lots to do with his Amazing Public Court Jester Performances, that helped countless people live a better a life, beyond just weight concerns. From all I knew, he had a true heart of gold, & was actually a bit of a shy man, with equal parts of passion and compassion. Clowns always have to remove their face paints, & ditch their crazy clothes & shoes, & most are Never who they are in full makeup!!! Richard was Everything we saw, just quieter out of his. RIP Sweet Gentle Soul🥰🙏
This was so beautifully put thank you so much. If I ever need a Ghostwriter maybe I can call on you, I'm only joking of course but that truly is some thoughtful expression. Thanks for watching
What a sweetheart, he adores his fans and what a rare treat for these tourist and it was totally unexpected experience
Such a sweet man. Loved his energy, fun & playful personality. There was something a little sad about Richard, that you just wanted to give him a big hug. He really was, such a sweetie. Will miss him terribly. RIP😥🕯️🥀🕊️💔🙏😢
Richard motivated millions to get off the couch, live healthy and believe in yourselves. When he retired, people wondered why he disappeared from hollywood appearances. He wanted to live life without the fanfare. I respected that. He realized he was a court jester on public display and did it well. He was hilarious!
God Bless Him!
he really did help a lot of people. he deserved to retire when he did.
So perfectly said !! Very true! Hugs to u! 💙
God bless his soul. He was a precious human being
Oh, what beautiful flowers over his beautiful grave site .I miss him already and will we all grow up with him very much, an American treasure in his way.
76 was a good amount of time. Life expectancy when he was born probably was less than that. RIP Richard. I watched many of your exercise shows and thought you were funny but mostly a kind human
@PopcornPopper very true. 76 is a good full life. Thanks for watching
He was a very kind person & helped alot of people RIP
very true, thanks for watching.
such a kind man.
He was a funny man. I liked him because he was kind and down to earth. Keep God fit up there!!❤❤
Richard was such a sweet and giving person. He always thought of others, and he finally decided to just be private, and take care of himself. I do not blame him, everyone deserves privacy, and to do what they want to. His mental and physical health are/were important. Richard, just seemed like a friend, and when he passed, it felt like a big part was lost. Thank you, for posting this video, and for being so respectful of his, and his family’s privacy.
he always made sure his fans felt welcomed. Thanks for watching.
Great respect for the Health Guru Richard Simmons. He had a lot of energy when he was on tv teaching exercises. RIP Richard.
Richard was fabulous! He was a great man and a huge inspiration for many people throughout the years and motivated others with his sweet, loving style. I loved him. He was truly a beautiful man. ❤
Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. God Bless Richard Simmons. May he rest in eternal peace. He made a huge difference in many people’s lives.🙏❤️
@Beth-yb2kv he really did and he was so encouraging. Thanks for watching
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE DEAR FRIEND, FLY HIGH.
He gave so much to others and he decided to live in peace and take care of himself. He made a decision to not have another knee surgery and decided to limit his work so he would not tax his good knee. It is a shame that his knee surgery was difficult for him. Many people do well but he did not and he accepted it. There is nothing wrong with being a homebody. I also read once that he was a catholic and prayerful. I admired RS. RIP
Never met him, but anytime he was on TV my mother was watching as well. 🕊️
You are the best! Thank you for sharing your video.
Such a great soul! Rest dear sir!
@armandocsmith8858 yes he was, thanks for watching.
RIP beautiful Soul...
I was working a full time 8-5 job in the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's. Back in the 1980's when he was on tv if I was off work for a holiday I would watch his show. I did buy some of his videos. I thought he was fun. He was very popular in the 1980's with many of my friends. So sorry to hear of his passing.
I love Richard Simmons. I was so sad to hear of his passing
