    In a world overfilled with disconnection and negativity, CBS Sunday Morning restores my faith in the better part of humanity.
    Thank you Bill Geist. Your work over the years has been a gift which we can only return with genuine appreciation and the fact that you've connected us in ways we could not otherwise do.

      Like the Last Supper made entirely of dryer lint (03:30). Bill had a knack at finding the obscure and bizarre. And yes, so many that we've never even seen.

    You've been a welcomed guest in my home for so many Sundays that it is hard to imagine a Sunday Morning without my well traveled friend.
    Thank you, Bill.
    I wish for you a long and happy retirement.
    Thank you, Bill.
    Goodbye.

    I grew up in Iowa watching this show most sundays before church-and many bill geist segments stuck with me over the years. Especially the one where he visits our hometown bull. I remember being proud that our small town made it on national tv. Thanks for sharing the untold stories from faraway corners of the USA over the years!

    Thank you for all the great memories Mr. Geist, and like my father, thank you for serving in Vietnam. I am 55, and I watched most of your segments over the years. You really had a way of connecting with everyday Americans and your viewers.

  • @cherylanderson3340
    @cherylanderson3340 5 років тому +1

    What a treat to see the US through Bill's eyes. It will be fun to look through all these old episodes at times when the current realities are hard to bear.
    It dawned on me, part-way through...could he be Willie Geist's dad? Soon that was confirmed when a young Willie popped his head in, looking for a ride from his dad, at maybe 15 yrs old.

    You've been successful, Bill. We're gonna miss having you on Sunday Morning. You've actually made that show enjoyable to watch, in the over 30 years you've been there. The one story about the time where you went to the Heart Attack Grill in Arizona was one to never forget, so I appreciate that, too. Remember like it was yesterday and I'm glad you survived that Quadruple Bypass, too. So, Bill, Farewell and all the best to you and your whole family.

I want her to see this - to show her … how this great man lived - being silly and enjoying life to the fullest. So - hopefully she can do the same … have a reason to live - as she occasionally threatens suicide. Thank You - CBS Sunday Morning. Thank You - Bill Geist.
