So sad..but what a wonderful life he led and what wonderful memories he gave us! And working up until a few weeks ago at age 95!

A true gentleman and What a voice!!

Masterpiece Theatre has never been the same without him. Wonder if he was as wonderful in person as he was on screen? He seemed like the perfect British gentleman.

I actually started to cry when I saw about his death on the news tonight. He was absolutely wonderful.

Amen. What a scholar and a gentleman.

I happened to see him on the street about 10 years ago. He was dapperly dressed, and quite tall, something I never would have realized since on tv I he was always sitting down.

Alistair Cooke and Alistair Cookie, rip.

My fondest memories are of his hosting of Omnibus on CBS on fifties Sunday afternoons. What a wonderful person.
