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.  đź™Ź

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! Smiley Happy  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
