Bob Beckel has died. He was 73 years old. While I disagreed with a lot of what he said, he was a funny man, and full of kindness and humor.

Condolences to all the Beckel family and friends.

Rest in Peace Bob, you will be missed by many. 🙏

I usually disagreed with Bob Beckel, but I enjoyed him when he was on The Five....he was funny, seemed to have a big heart.

I did not know he was ill. RIP.

I too was saddened to hear of Bob's passing! He & I didn't agree on much but he was a real hoot to watch. He was gruff on the outside but I think deep down he was really a teddy bear! RIP in BOB!!

I'm sorry to hear that, @hckynutjohn . He provided a lively counterpoint when he was on "The Five", and as everyone says, could be very funny. He had his struggles, I believe. RIP.

He was straight shooter and told it like it was. I so enjoyed him. He will be missed.

He was only 73? He looked older.

Bob always let it be known he had a drug problem, deep down he was a dear soul who loved his children and had a good heart. I didn't agree with him, but always liked him. He used to decorate his house for Christmas, like no one could believe. It was a small home so made it look a little much, but that was his thing. I've missed him since he left the five. You were one of a kind. RIP

Despite his personal demons, I always felt he was 'the smartest guy in the room'.

I loved Beckel too. He was one of those old school guys who could keep his job separate from his personal feelings about people. He always made me laugh so hard.

I enjoyed him on The Five. I read he died from a brain hemorrhage in his sleep. RIP

Thank you for posting this thread @hckynutjohn

I haven't seen Bob Beckel in ages. I always enjoyed watching The Five with him on it. Like you, I didn't agree with what he said either .. however, I felt he was "true to his words & feelings." This is sad news.

My condolences to his Family & Friends.
