LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian Bob Hope, who parlayed an uncanny sense of timing and ability to toss off one line jokes into a legendary show business career, has died peacefully at age 100 with his family at his side, a family spokesman said on Monday.

Hope died of pneumonia on Sunday night at 9:28 p.m. at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Toluca Lake, spokesman Ward Grant said.

Agreed, studyhound. To show what an "old fart" I am, I still remember seeing some of his USO tours, from Vietnam on TV. If there is one thing that Bob hope should be remembered for, it was those USO tours. He touched more lives from those tours than anyone else, & that's how I will always remember him.
